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 Sloan Lake

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Denver County average of 45.4%.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. 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 #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $149,063, annual rent is just 5%. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
