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 Lavender Heights

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Sacramento County average of 50.2%. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,584 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Sacramento commands.

Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $98,750.

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.
