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 Walnut Park

89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 34.9% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $50,658, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 65% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.9% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

Average gross rent is $1,644, 9% above the Huntington Park average. 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 #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
