Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Fort Worth

Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 33.5% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.9/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $44,919, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,208, 20% below the Fort Worth average. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. 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.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
