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 East Whittier

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $61,890, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 25.4% against 14.2% nationally.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,696, 11% below the Whittier 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. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
