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 Strawberry Park

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $51,281 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Housing insecurity runs 28.2% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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