Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Summit Hill

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 108 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.6% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Against average income of $88,327, annual rent is just 16%.

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.
