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 Central Avenue Historic District

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 32.3% against 15.2% nationally. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Montgomery County average of 42.9%.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Court records carry 487 eviction filings across 17 observed years.

It sits 0.9 points above the Montgomery County average of 4.2. The worst year on record was 2008, when 18.2% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dayton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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