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 Mid-City

Annualized rent equals 58% of average household income of $45,746, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against San Diego County at 52.5%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 31.0% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Housing insecurity runs 22.0% against 14.2% nationally. 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 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
