Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Westwood

The voucher gap is 46.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 2.8% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.6 points below the Johnson County average of 3.6. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,975, close to the Westwood average.

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.
