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 North Beach
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2004 at 1.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.
In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
