Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Oak Knoll

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points.

Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #14,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,341, close to the Pasadena average.

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.
