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 Longfellow

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Alameda County average of 45.5%. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.1/10. Against the Alameda County average of 7.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Average gross rent is $2,487, 15% below the Emeryville average. Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 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.
