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

Set annual rent against average income of $55,109 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Sacramento County at 50.2%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened.

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Sacramento. 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 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10.

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.
