Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 The Alhambra

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Food insecurity runs 27.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 22.3% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,694 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. 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. Nationally it ranks #2,339 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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 CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

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.
