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 Fort Worth

The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Tarrant County at 50.2%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,142, 24% below the Fort Worth average. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

Court records carry 577 eviction filings across 17 observed years. The worst year on record was 2017, when 13.1% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth. 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
