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 Fairfield Area

Running hot, economic stress reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 83% 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, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Baltimore. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Baltimore City average of 6.8 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
