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

95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Food insecurity runs 38.0% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.7% 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 D ("Hazardous"). 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 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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.
