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 Lavender Heights

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Sacramento County average of 7.1. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

At $1,452 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Sacramento 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. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, 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. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $66,205.

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