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 Mariposa District

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 429 evictions over 8 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,561, 15% below the Denver average. Filings peaked in 2009 at 27.2% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 8.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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