Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Roosevelt

Against Kenosha County at 40.9%, 30% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 267 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2007 at 14.1% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 6.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $85,290, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Kenosha County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,217, close to the Kenosha average.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
