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 White Plains

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,980, 20% below the Northbrook average. Housing insecurity runs 5.0% against 14.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 24 filings here across 11 tracked years. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10.

The voucher gap is 12.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

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