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 Fairmount Circle

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.

At $1,086 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of University Heights commands. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 151 filings here across 12 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.0% of renter households.

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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $94,688, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
