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 Near Westside

Against Onondaga County at 43.5%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $18,925 and the ratio lands at 64%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 31.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Against the Onondaga County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.6/10.

Running hot, state political climate reads 7.3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
