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 Canaryville

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 133 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $1,300, 10% below the Chicago average.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.1% of renter households were served. 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

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