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 Florence

Food insecurity runs 48.3% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 73% 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.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.1% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Average gross rent is $1,579, 18% below the Los Angeles average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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