At $926 a month, rents run 52% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Housing insecurity runs 49.8% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, economic stress reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Disability prevalence runs 54.0% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles.
