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 Laurel

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

At $1,727 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Oakland commands. 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 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $115,500, annual rent is just 18%.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
