HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Oak Cliff

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Dallas County at 47.9%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.0 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.

Court records carry 122 eviction filings across 18 observed years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 3.8% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing.

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.
