HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lair Port

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 49% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. 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 #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,736, close to the Hawthorne average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $81,429.

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