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 Valverde

Cost burden runs 59% here against 45.4% across Denver County. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.3% against 11.3% nationally. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 258 filings here across 8 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 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.

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