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

Average gross rent is $392, 78% below the Sacramento average. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Disability prevalence runs 52.4% against 31.5% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 34.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 42% here against 50.2% across Sacramento County. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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