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

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,463 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Lawndale commands. Food insecurity runs 29.4% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 26.5% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.8 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 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.

Nationally it ranks #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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