Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Muirfield

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. The voucher gap is 36.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Against Forsyth County at 41.1%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 4.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 4.2% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Forsyth County average of 3.9.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 4 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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