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 El Monte

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $38,969 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.6% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally.

At $1,570 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of El Monte commands. 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.

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.
