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 Normal Heights

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $1,630 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of San Diego commands. It sits 1.8 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6.

Cost burden runs 44% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

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 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $68,750.

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.
