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 Rubbervile

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 93 evictions over 11 years of observation. At $1,134 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Racine commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Racine. 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Racine County average of 3.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $69,034.

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.
