HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Little Italy

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,327, 31% below the Los Angeles average. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Housing insecurity runs 30.7% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Disability prevalence runs 44.0% against 31.5% nationally.

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.

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.
