Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Rancho Dominguez

Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income of $43,531, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation runs 54.3% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 40.2% against 14.2% nationally.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 69% 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. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.3/10.

At $1,968 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Compton commands. It sits 0.8 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

Nationally it ranks #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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