Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Mirabeau

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Pierce County average of 47.5%. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 478 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Average gross rent is $1,969, 12% above the University Place average. Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.0% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
