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 Cole Valley

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 10/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against San Francisco County at 37.3%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $2,972 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of San Francisco commands.

SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally.

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 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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