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 South Encanto

Cost burden runs 76% here against 52.5% across San Diego County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 22.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Diego. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Average gross rent is $2,158, close to the San Diego average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $99,919.

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