HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alamo Placita

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10.
