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.

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 44.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Cost burden runs 58% here against 50.2% across Tarrant County. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

At $1,266 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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