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 Motor Row

Cost burden runs 34% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 22.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
