Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 HarborPark

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.1/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Kenosha County average of 40.9%.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $889, 25% below the Kenosha average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 127 filings here across 12 tracked years.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.6% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $95,246, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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