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 Wilmington

Cost burden runs about three-quarters here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Food insecurity runs 43.2% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 42.2% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $37,844, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 80% 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.

Average gross rent is $1,303, 33% below the Los Angeles average. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. 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.

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