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 Holly Heights

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 441 filings here across 7 tracked years. Against the York County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 13.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for York. 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 8.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $67,938, 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.
