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 City Terrace

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 29.2% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.6% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,489, close to the East Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $89,718. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
