Against the Union County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
Housing insecurity runs 26.8% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Union Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
