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 Bouldin

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 19.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. At $1,484 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Austin commands. 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.

Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $120,890, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
