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 Beecher

It sits 3.0 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 35.9% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.4% against 14.2% nationally.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $788, 13% below the Beecher average.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Flint. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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