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

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

Against the Winnebago County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 173 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2007 at 8.2% of renter households.

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 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters.

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