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 Eastwood

Adults with no health insurance runs 29.3% against 11.3% nationally. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. At $1,063 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Houston commands. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 0.9 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Court records carry 128 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 5.5% 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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