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 Huntersville

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.2/10. At $1,003 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Norfolk commands. It sits 1.4 points above the Norfolk City average of 4.1.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Against Norfolk City at 50.4%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 505 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 37.6% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
