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 Hanson Park

Food insecurity runs 40.3% against 17.8% nationally. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $58,208, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 31.6% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

At $1,705 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Chicago commands. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 321 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 4.4% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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.
