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 Broadway Heights

Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $93,344 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. At $2,500 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of San Diego commands.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
