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 Golden Triangle

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 329 evictions over 8 years of observation. At $1,666 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Denver commands. The worst year on record was 2010, when 4.9% 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
