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 Rosslyn Heights

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. At $752 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Carnegie commands. Court records carry 165 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 7.0% 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $56,791, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
