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 Flint

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 58% here against 45.3% across Genesee County. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 0.9 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3. At $1,031 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Flint commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
