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. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $57,724 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.3% against 11.3% nationally. Cost burden runs 62% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
