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 Nashville

This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Davidson County average of 3.9.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,308, 18% below the Nashville average.

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 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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