Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Mississippi

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 547 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2000 at 11.4% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland. 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 5.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #11,988 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
