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.

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. At $2,729 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of San Diego commands. Against the San Diego County average of 7.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 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. Nationally it ranks #5,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
