Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Foothill / Sunnyside

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Court records carry 45 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 1.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Salt Lake City. 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 1.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
