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 Hill Section

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.2/10. Average gross rent is $2,971, 14% below the Manhattan Beach average. The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

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. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
