Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Omaha Heights

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 68% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. SNAP participation runs 33.1% against 15.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $55,313 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Housing insecurity runs 27.1% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,639 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. 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.

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.
