Historical context · 1930s redlining

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 Fort Worth

The severe-burden share is 36%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 32.7% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $35,365 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,139 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands.

Disability prevalence runs 45.1% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 966 evictions over 17 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 31.6% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 14.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
