Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Colonial Hills

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Franklin County average of 4.4.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,451, 18% above the Worthington average.

Housing insecurity runs 5.2% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 52 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 8.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
