Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Sandown

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,189, 20% above the Denver average.

It sits 0.9 points below the Denver County average of 6.7. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $99,792.

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.
