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 Rockridge

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,246, 13% above the Oakland average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $157,731, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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