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 Wyandotte/Oakdale

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Court records carry 5,473 eviction filings across 14 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 83.4% 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 49.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th 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.

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