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 Bridgedale

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 26.9% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 25.6% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. At $1,778 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Lawndale commands. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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.
