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

Cost burden runs 67% here against 40.9% across Kenosha County. Food insecurity runs 38.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $30,066, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.6/10.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.6% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.2 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8.

Average gross rent is $955, 19% below the Kenosha average. Court records carry 1,265 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 16.8% of renter households.

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.
