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 Baird Park

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. At $1,327 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 29.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.5% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $104,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
