Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Bessemer

Cost burden runs 58% here against 48.2% across Pueblo County. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.3% against 11.3% nationally. 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. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,140, close to the Pueblo average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $49,965. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
