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 Baker

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. 70% 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, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.8% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs 39% here against 45.4% across Denver County.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,944, close to the Denver average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $98,073.

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