Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Historic Kenwood

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 793 filings here across 18 tracked years.

Against the Pinellas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 18.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 8.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
