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.

Average gross rent is $2,572, 11% below the Hermosa Beach average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").
