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 East Nashville

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $118,625, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $1,699, close to the Nashville average. 26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
