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 Oak Cliff

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.5% against 11.3% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,733, 18% above the Dallas average. Court records carry 275 eviction filings across 18 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Dallas County average of 3.8.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 12.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
