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 Lennox

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average income of $59,220 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. SNAP participation runs 29.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Housing insecurity runs 26.1% against 14.2% nationally. 48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
