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 West Nashville

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Nashville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,712, close to the Nashville average.

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