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 Mile High Vista

This is renter territory: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #6,676 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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