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 HarborPark

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.6/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Against the Kenosha County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Average gross rent is $955, 19% below the Kenosha average.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 548 evictions over 12 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 12.1% 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 6.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
