Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Upper Rockridge

At $3,501 a month, rents run 77% over what the rest of Oakland commands. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.7/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.6% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.

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