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 Haven

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. At $940 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Knox County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.4% against 11.3% nationally. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
