Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Fairmount

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,708 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Fort Worth commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 53% of renters.

It tracks the Tarrant County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $75,625. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
