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 Crawford-Roberts

This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The dominant input is economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Allegheny County average of 40.6%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 512 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2000 at 9.5% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 7.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10.
