Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Hawthorne

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Food insecurity runs 36.5% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $59,634, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 30.0% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,617, 9% below the Hawthorne average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
