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 Grant

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Kenosha County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 168 evictions over 12 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Kenosha. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Kenosha eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10.

Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

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.
