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 Avalon Park

Cost burden runs 31% here against 40.9% across Kenosha County. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

SNAP participation runs 26.4% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 452 filings here across 12 tracked years.

It sits 0.6 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2017, when 5.7% 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 5.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Kenosha eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
