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 Jeffries Point
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
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 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. It tracks the Suffolk County average of 7.9 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
