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 Glenwood Arts District

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 1.9 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 717 filings here across 15 tracked years. At $1,248 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Filings peaked in 2001 at 4.5% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10.

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.
