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

Cost burden runs 28% here against 38.0% across Winnebago County. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

Average gross rent is $783, 16% below the Oshkosh average. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Winnebago County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $72,668, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

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.
