Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Altizer

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 23.6% against 15.2% nationally. At $775 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Huntington commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Huntington. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
