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 Ingalls Park

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 26.6% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Will County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Food insecurity runs 26.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,073, 16% below the Joliet average. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $58,830.

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