Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Banksville

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 559 evictions over 7 years of observation. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The worst year on record was 2000, when 12.1% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 8.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10.

Against average income of $81,887, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely.

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