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 Silverdale

Adults with no health insurance runs 36.2% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,022, 25% below the Houston average.

Disability prevalence runs 45.1% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 256 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 9.1% of renter households were served. 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.

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.
