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 Crescent Heights

The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Pinellas County average of 53.4%. At $1,316 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands.

Court records carry 137 eviction filings across 18 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Pinellas County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2010 at 3.2% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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