Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Oshkosh

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.

Against the Winnebago County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions over 12 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $814, 13% below the Oshkosh average. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.9% 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. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.

Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $53,347.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
