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 Stonybrook Village

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Norfolk County average of 5.6.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.8/10. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $84,529, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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