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 NewHolly

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9.5/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Cost burden runs 59% here against 44.1% across King County.

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions over 10 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 5.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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