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 Mayfair

Adults with no health insurance runs 40.2% against 11.3% nationally. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $887 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 49 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.8% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10.

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.
