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 Lynwood

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.4% against 14.2% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $60,472, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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