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.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 17.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston.

That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
