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 Mesa Junction

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 43.8% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.3 points above the Pueblo County average of 4.4. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 7.2/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pueblo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
