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 Clawson

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.

35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Oakland County average of 39.8%. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10. 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. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $90,335, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

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