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 Kecoughtan

Against Hampton City at 50.4%, 67% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $50,162 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.2 points above the Hampton City average of 4.0.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 22.7% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 812 filings here across 6 tracked years.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3/10. Filings peaked in 2011 at 90.6% 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.

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.
