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 Wyoming

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 43.7% across Kent County. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $43,967 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 31.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Kent County average of 4.2.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.2% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Grand Rapids. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
