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 Roosevelt

Cost burden runs 65% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Set annual rent against average income of $67,917 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

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. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 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. Average gross rent is $1,872, close to the Gardena average.

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.
