Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Skytop

Cost burden runs 33% here against 43.5% across Onondaga County. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is state political climate at 7.3/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Onondaga County average of 6.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Syracuse. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
