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 University Village

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,397 a month, rents run 76% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 56.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 110 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 8.7% 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. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
