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 Berkeley

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Average gross rent is $2,414, 32% above the Denver average. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Denver County average of 6.7.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 51 filings here across 8 tracked years. The voucher gap is 12.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.4% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
