Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Dayton

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Montgomery County average of 4.2.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 75 filings here across 17 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,199, 14% above the Kettering average. Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.9% 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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