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

roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 65% 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.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,816, close to the Hawthorne average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $75,565.

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