The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Union Co.

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.
