Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Annie Day Shepard Dormitory

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Durham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Food insecurity runs 28.4% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,236 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Durham commands. Court records carry 1,057 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 43.8% across Durham County. Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 24.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 23.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
