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 Highland Park

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

At $859 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Chattanooga commands. Disability prevalence runs 45.3% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.0 points above the Hamilton County average of 3.9. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 38% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
