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.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oglethorpe Homes

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.2/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Richmond County average of 51.1%.

The filing record is not thin: 802 evictions over 9 years of observation. Average gross rent is $986, 14% below the Augusta average. The worst year on record was 2001, when 14.4% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 11.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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