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 Harvey Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.0% against 11.3% nationally. Against Denver County at 45.4%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,487, 19% below the Denver average.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 709 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

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