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 New Chinatown

This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $71,776, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Cost burden runs 58% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

At $2,196 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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