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 Middle Village

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Winnebago County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. At $1,060 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Oshkosh commands.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oshkosh. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $57,654.

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