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 Oak Hill

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.6/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Henrico County average of 4.3.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 421 filings here across 2 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,197, 9% below the East Highland Park average.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 33.2% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 34.4% of renter households face a filing.
