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 Highland Park

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $68,859, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.5% across Alameda County.

SNAP participation runs 27.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 28.8% against 17.8% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
