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 City Park West

77% 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. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Average gross rent is $1,459, 20% below the Denver average. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 328 filings here across 8 tracked years. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Denver County average of 45.4%. The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.1% of renter households were served.

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. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
