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 Clarkdale

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Average gross rent is $812, 20% above the Hometown average.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 93 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.7% 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. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $59,265, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
