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

What drives eviction risk in Florence-Firestone

Food insecurity runs 55.6% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 68% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $42,704, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,319 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Florence-Graham commands.

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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
