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 Silverdale

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,084, 20% below the Houston average.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 217 filings here across 7 tracked years.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Harris County average of 49.5%. Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.0% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
