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 Mount Greenwood

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,164, 18% below the Evergreen Park average. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Court records carry 85 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.1% 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $101,071, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
