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 Bungalow Heaven

80% 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. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $2,001, 12% below the Pasadena 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.

That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $89,018.

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.
