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 Norwood Park

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Lancaster County average of 43.9%. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 434 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 5.8% 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $56,111, annual rent is just 15%. It tracks the Lancaster County average of 3.8 closely.

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.
