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 Little Mogadishu

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 29.5% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. At $1,825 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of San Diego commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.5% against 11.3% nationally.

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 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 52% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
