Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $833 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Macon-Bibb County commands. Against the Bibb County average of 4.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,120 filings here across 8 tracked years. 47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Bibb County average of 51.4%.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 31.0% of renter households were served.

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.
