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 Lavaca

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 48.2% across Bexar County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

The filing record is not thin: 176 evictions over 9 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2007 at 4.6% 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
