HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Oak Lawn

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $2,002 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Dallas commands.

Disability prevalence runs 14.8% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 42% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dallas. 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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