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 Conway

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 47.3% across Ramsey County.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Against the Ramsey County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Court records carry 185 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2009 at 10.0% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,262, close to the St. Paul average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $66,553.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
