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 Little Saigon

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. At $1,329 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Denver commands.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.4% against 11.3% nationally.

Against Denver County at 45.4%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 176 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.6% of renter households were served.

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. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,481 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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