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 Hope Valley

Cost burden runs 65% here against 44.7% across Guilford County. SNAP participation runs 39.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income of $24,239, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10. 70% 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 1.5/10. Against the Guilford County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

The filing record is not thin: 1,041 evictions over 5 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally.

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.
