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 Newsome

Average gross rent is $968, 32% below the Hampton average. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Newport News.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 52% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Hampton City average of 4.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $50,796. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
