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 Roser Park

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $55,972 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. At $1,511 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands.

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. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters.

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.
