HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Willowville

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. 88% 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.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $58,168 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.4% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Housing insecurity runs 26.9% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,616, 14% below the Long Beach average. 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.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
