Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Platt Park

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally.

At $2,252 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Denver commands. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $176,071, annual rent is just 15%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
