Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

SNAP participation runs 34.9% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,316, 32% below the Los Angeles average.

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Housing insecurity runs 30.1% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 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.
