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 Huntersville

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 50.4% across Norfolk City. Set annual rent against average income of $44,440 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 28.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Norfolk City average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Housing insecurity runs 23.8% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. Court records carry 299 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 38.5% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
