HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 South Side
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 36% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
At $1,800 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Dallas commands. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Dallas County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $93,842.
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.
