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 Civic Park

Food insecurity runs 48.4% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Housing insecurity runs 32.7% against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $26,737, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. 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 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

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.
