Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Pine Ridge

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Jackson County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,261 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Vandercook Lake commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
