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 Sunset Cliffs

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the San Diego County average of 7.6. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.

At $1,994 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of San Diego 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. Nationally it ranks #4,888 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $84,550.

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.
