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 Youngstown

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 1.3 points above the King County average of 6.7. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 174 evictions over 10 years of observation.

Cost burden runs about half here against 44.1% across King County. The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.8% of renter households were served. 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
