HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Boyle Heights

29% 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 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

71% 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. Cost burden runs 62% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. SNAP participation runs 28.7% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,478 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.8% against 11.3% nationally. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
