Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 The Hill

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $74,338, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 46.8% across Fulton County.

SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,990, 16% above the Atlanta average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Fulton County average of 4.2 closely.

65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
