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 Golden Gate

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.7/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Alameda County average of 7.8.

65% 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. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $2,330 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Oakland commands.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Oakland. 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 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $111,131.

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