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 Baker

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. At $1,608 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Denver commands.

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. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $143,581, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.
