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 Alamo Placita

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

At $1,560 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Denver commands. Cost burden runs about half here against 45.4% across Denver County. 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 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $84,301.

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