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 Ocean View

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Alameda County average of 45.5%. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oakland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $135,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
