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 Lavender Heights

Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.

22% 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 high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Against Sacramento County at 50.2%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $1,516, 15% below the Sacramento average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
