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 Riverside

79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

Average gross rent is $796, 18% below the Evansville average. The filing record is not thin: 754 evictions over 10 years of observation. Against the Vanderburgh County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Against Vanderburgh County at 41.1%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2005, when 14.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Evansville. 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 8.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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