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 Whites Village

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 40.9% across Knox County.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,077 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. 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 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $45,075.

56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
