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 West End

The voucher gap is 43.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 9.4/10. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 41.1% across Forsyth County. The filing record is not thin: 418 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 37.0% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 20.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

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.
