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 Highland Park

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 3.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Augusta eviction risk-Richmond County consolidated government (balance), while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Richmond County average of 5.8 and in line with the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 41st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 99 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 4.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.9% of renter households in 2004.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
