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 North Kenwood

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 471 evictions over 18 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,498, 10% below the St. Petersburg average. Filings peaked in 2006 at 20.3% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Petersburg. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Pinellas County average of 3.8 closely.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $64,922.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
