Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Quality Hill Historic District

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Disability prevalence runs 17.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 45.4% across Denver County. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,637, 11% below the Denver average. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely.

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