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 Sloan Lake

Against Denver County at 45.4%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

At $1,673 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Denver commands. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $137,102, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
