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 Saint James Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 36.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Set annual rent against average income of $63,458 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 68% 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.

Housing insecurity runs 28.7% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Average gross rent is $1,743, 10% below the Los Angeles 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
