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 Lake

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $64,474 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Court records carry 163 eviction filings across 18 observed years. Against Pinellas County at 53.4%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 0.8 points below the Pinellas County average of 3.8. Average gross rent is $1,813, 9% above the St. Petersburg average. The worst year on record was 2003, when 4.3% of renter households were served.

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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
