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 Plaza Hills

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Court records carry 398 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 52.0% of renter households. 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 21.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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