Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Central Oak Park

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,187, 29% below the St. Petersburg average.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Pinellas County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $61,917.

37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
