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 Avalon Trails

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,111 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
