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 Peterson Park (39th Ward)

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 52 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 0.8% of renter households were served.

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. In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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