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 North Harvey

SNAP participation runs 43.6% against 15.2% nationally. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cook County average of 45.6%. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,172 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Harvey commands.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 568 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2004 at 11.8% of renter households.

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 7.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
