Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 North Capitol Hill

This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.3/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $33,528 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,198 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Denver commands. Running hot, local political climate reads 9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
