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 Harbor City

77% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,241, 36% below the Los Angeles average.

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 #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $99,549, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
