Executive Summary

Overview

A spatial biography (essentially a placed-based descriptive journey of its past through its present, incorporating the histories of its built form, economy, demography, politics, and other aspects) while complex to perform, can provide rich and interesting insights of the present and future of a community. The different components of a spatial biography are not mutually exclusive, but rather interwoven and interconnected, often with “the economy dependent on society and the environment while human existence and society depend on, and within the environment” (Giddings, Hopwood, & O’Brien, 2002, p. 187). By attempting to assemble spatial biographies at the community level, we can gain a better understanding of the individual puzzle pieces that comprise the great city of neighborhoods that is Los Angeles. This brief spatial biography will examine Pico-Union, one of the oldest, most diverse, densely populated, and economically disadvantaged inner-city communities within the City of Los Angeles. Information Sources Many journal articles were reviewed, in an attempt to find a process of assembling an organized spatial biography and for historical information. Several UCLA studies and papers were enormously valuable in providing a social historical perspective of Pico-Union, and the neighboring Byzantine-Latino Corridor. Publications by Los Angeles Conservancy provided much of the included detail of the historical character of Pico-Union’s built environment, including descriptions of historically significant Pico-Union structures. Census datasets were obtained from American Fact Finder for six Pico-Union census tracts. The City of Los Angeles Planning Department and the Office of Historical Resources provided parcel level information that was included in the ArcMap created by the researcher. Field work (mostly photographing) was performed to gain an increased sense of the historical character of Pico-Union’s built environment.


Brief Spatial Biography of Pico-Union

It is certainly no exaggeration to say that all of the current 88 incorporated cities (and

unincorporated areas) that comprise Los Angeles County have undergone enormous change over

the last 150 years. Many Los Angeles communities simply did not exist 150 years ago. The

conversion of the sparsely settled Los Angeles desert landscape to its current form was largely

due to two large development booms, both driven by profit-motivated wealthy development

interests, waves of oil reserve exploitation, transportation infrastructure improvements, real

estate speculation, and manifest destiny. After the two booms (generally in the 1880s and

1920s), older, original settlement areas of Los Angeles did their best to survive the outwards

suburban leap-frogging of new community creation, the waxing and waning of federal

government priority shifts, often schizophrenic immigration policies, and poorly coordinated

local and regional development plans.

More recently (within the last 40 years), many urban areas within Los Angeles County,

have experienced significant urban decay and/or have remained stagnant. Curiously however,

some cities and communities have been able to redefine themselves significantly over relatively

short periods of time; since the 1990s. Glendale, Pasadena, West Hollywood, for example, as

well as the huge expansions of Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Corona (as well as nearly every city

in the San Gabriel Valley) have redefined themselves and reshaped the urban context of Los

Angeles. Within the City of Los Angeles, the communities of Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Sunset

Junction, Echo Park, Eagle Rock, Miracle Mile, Culver City, Venice Beach, portions of

Hollywood, and especially downtown Los Angeles hardly look and feel like they did a decade or

two ago.


Whether “due” for growth spurts, are the result of concerted efforts by constituents, or

politically assisted through targeted programs (such as Community Redevelopment Agency

assistance), spatial biographies of single communities can provide valuable insight into

community changes (or lack thereof). In a larger context, performing spatial biographies are a

crucial exercise in connecting and linking together the history of the “sum of the parts” to better

explain Los Angeles’ existence as a whole.

This paper, albeit through brief summary, attempted to link different aspects of the

history of Pico-Union with its present conditions. The intention was to provide an abbreviated

spatial biography from which understanding issues related Pico-Union’s future may be learned.

Location? Location! Borders?

One of the significant challenges involved in assembling a spatial biography of an area

within Los Angeles is to understand the specific boundaries of the community being explored.

Due to Los Angeles’s sprawling development patterns, it is often difficult to discern where one

community begins and ends. Furthermore, obtaining data and reviewing prior studies of a

specific community, such as Pico-Union, is complicated by differences of perceived borders,

which results in incongruities of place-based history and data.

Community Plan

Much of the City of Los Angeles data for Pico-Union, including key planning

components, are included in the Westlake Community Plan. The community of Westlake is

Pico-Union’s neighbor, a sister community in many senses, north of Olympic Boulevard.


However similar, Pico-Union and Westlake are quite different (historically and presently), have

very different challenges to their future, and should have mutually exclusive community plans.

Byzantine-Latino Corridor

Hutchinson (1999) and other studies examine Pico-Union with, or rather within, the

context of the Byzantine-Latino Quarter (BLQ), which begins in the south-western portion of

Pico-Union, and continues westward along Pico Boulevard to Normandie Avenue (and also

includes several blocks north and south of Pico Boulevard (Map 1). The BLQ (a LANI

neighborhood since 1997, formerly known as Pico-Heights), as it crosses Vermont Avenue going

westward, is still very similar demographically to Pico-Union, but the two are very different in

terms of built form. Even the Pico-Union Neighborhood Council, and the relatively new Los

Angeles Times neighborhood mapping project include areas west of Hoover Street (to

Normandie Avenue) as within Pico-Union. Those areas however become what many consider to

be Koreatown, which, perhaps moreso than Pico-Union, has no distinct spatial boundaries.

Other Border Fuzziness

Unfortunately, portions of Pico-Union are also sometimes grouped within the Figueroa

corridor or South Park. Until the recent real estate collapse, Pico-Union seemed helplessly

poised to be merged, absorbed, or even consumed, by the staples center, L.A. Live, Nokia

Center, Convention Center, and other encroaching downtown developments. Hardly needing to

be stated, Pico-Union looks nothing like, and shares virtually nothing in common (besides

location) with their encroaching neighbors across the 110 freeway.


For most purposes of this paper, the boundaries of Pico-Union are identical to the

Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) Pico-Union 1 and 2 project areas, which are bound

by Olympic Boulevard on the north, the 10 freeway on the south, the 110 freeway on the east,

and Hoover Street on the west (Map 2).

Settlement and Early Demographic Summary

In a time without freeways and major avenues, Pico-Union “lies within the original

boundary of El Pueblo de Los Angeles, founded in 1781,” and, “by the 1880s, the new railroads

were bringing thousands of new residents each year, from across the nation and around the

world, initiating a pattern of migration and settlement that has shaped Pico-Union throughout its

history” (Los Angeles Conservancy, 2010). Early settlers of Pico-Union were a diverse group of

Europeans, including middle and upper-income “Greeks, Norwegians, Swedes, Welsh, and

Russian Jews” (Loukaitou-Sideris, 2000, p. 17).

Pico-Union was initially developed as an early suburb (1880 to 1900) to the business

activities of downtown Los Angeles, which was essentially 1-mile away to the north and

northeast. As the Los Angeles economy grew and the development boom of the 1880s hit full

stride, the center of Los Angeles grew, and Pico-Union was well on its way of being transformed

into the inner-city residential character that exists today. The new suburbs moved outwards,

including westward along the BLQ, to accommodate a bulging population through inefficient,

space wasting, suburban-like development models. From 1860 through 1920, the Los Angeles

population grew from approximately 11,000 to 1 million (Modarres, 1998, p. 136).

As Los Angeles continued to grow outwards and the suburbs became more

infrastructurally and economically capable, dependency on the downtown area decreased,


leading to decay. Within Pico-Union, this period (approximately 1930s-1950s) included the

flight of most of their remaining affluent residents, which were replaced by the working class,

typically immigrants. The 1940s brought large industrial interests to Los Angeles (essentially

south of downtown) and many more recent immigrants that sought work found Pico-Union

convenient due to location, social familiarity, and cheaper cost of living.

Urban renewal and redevelopment of downtown Los Angeles during the 1950s and 1960s

“eliminated much of the low-cost housing serving ethnic communities in the city’s core,” which,

“pushed Asian and Latino communities into neighborhoods immediately surrounding the central

city, including the Pico-Union area” (UCLA, 1998). During this time, “Housing became run

down, as landlords kept subdividing the units and renting them out to accommodate ever-larger

numbers of immigrant families” (Hutchinson & Sideris, 2001, p. 297). This period was

especially difficult as Pico-Union’s infrastructure quickly deteriorated, complicated by its rich

ethnic diversity, a recurring theme through Pico-Union’s history. Hutchinson (1999) explained

that Pico-Union is an example of a diverse inner city, experiencing continual shifts in its very

high population density, which has lead to “Propinquity Without Community,” as “overstressed

infrastructure exacerbates the problems of living in a majority stranger population” (Hutchinson,

1999, p. 1). However, Hutchinson also noted that while many cities have had voids in their

decaying urban cores, Pico-Union didn’t follow that pattern. Pico-Union’s single and multi-

family dwellings were often over-crowded (as is still the case presently) with immigrant families

striving to survive, bringing with them “a store of energy, work experience, and the willingness

to bear hardship to create a better life” (Hutchinson, 1999, p. 7).

In 1970, the name Pico-Union was officially adopted by the CRA (named for its central

intersection) and the CRA Pico-Union 1 project area was created. Shortly after, large influxes of


Central Americans, especially Salvadorian and Guatemalan immigrants, found residence (and

refuge from civil war) in Pico-Union; a trend that has continued until today, and has expanded to

include many ethnic groups, including Cuban, Korean, a diversity of Mexican backgrounds, and

a variety of immigrants from many Central American countries.

Current (2000) Demographics

Pico-Union’s demographic characteristics, in comparison with the City of Los Angeles as

a whole, and the United States, are markedly different in virtually all basic categories. Summary

information pertaining to Pico-Union’s ethnic composition (Table 1) and income (Table 2), are

provided in-text, Tables 3 and 4 are more comprehensive and are provided in the Tables section

of this paper.

Lastly, as mentioned previously, there are large discrepancies across sources regarding

the statistics of Pico-Union, due to different boundary definitions. The total population (in 2000)

of the six Pico Union census tracts was reported as 17,498, but many sources include areas west

of Hoover Street area as Pico-Union, which increases the population to over 40,000. An

interesting article by well-known writer and scholar, Joel Kotkin, in 1997 even stated that the

Pico-Union’s population was “roughly 120,000” (Kotkin, 1997, p. 1). Kotkin must have been

including all of Westlake, the BLQ, and portions of Koreatown. Admittedly, a small portion of

Westlake and a sliver portion eastwards of the 110 (to Figueroa) are included in the six census

tracts considered for this paper (due to census tract boundaries, Figure 2 in tables section).


Ethnicity, Gender, and Age Composition

In 2000, ethnically speaking, Pico-Union was significantly less White and Black then the

City of Los Angeles and the United States, and it had almost double the percentage of Hispanic

or Latino as reported citywide (and over 7 times as reported nationwide) (Table 1). The

reporting for the category of “Some Other Race” within Pico-Union was the majority response

(56.5%) which indicated the enormous diversity of the area (largely from Central American

countries). The Pico-Union reporting for Some Other Race was more than twice the citywide

percentage and over 10 times the nationwide reporting.

Table 1 Ethnicity Comparisons by Category

Category Pico-Union Los Angeles United States

One race 94.0% 94.8% 97.6%

White 29.8% 46.9% 75.1%

Black or African American 3.6% 11.2% 12.3%

American Indian and Alaska Native 1.4% 0.8% 0.9%

Asian 2.8% 10.0% 3.6%

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 0.1% 0.2% 0.1%

Some other race 56.5% 25.7% 5.5%

Two or more races 6.0% 5.2% 2.4%

Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 90.4% 46.5% 12.5%

Note. Data extracted from 2000 Census (http://factfinder.census.gov).

Not surprising of working class immigrant communities, the percentage of males in Pico-

Union was higher than females by 1.6% when compared citywide, and 2.3% nationwide (Table

3). The imbalance towards males is likely caused by gender issues relating to availability and

types of work (often labor) for immigrants. The median age reported in Pico-Union was 27.6

years, 4 years younger than median age citywide, and 7.7 years younger than reported

nationwide.


Housing, Education, and Language

In 2000, Pico-Union was overwhelmingly a renter community (reported as 91.7% renter-

occupied, Figure 1). Many reasons contribute to the high rate of renters within Pico-Union, but

most simply, the housing stock lends itself, almost perfectly, to renters (high percentage of multi-

family housing).

Perhaps not surprising for a community comprised of recent immigrants (but very tell-

tale of the current quality of life and future outlook for many residents of Pico-Union) the

percentage of High School graduates (27.8%) was less than half that of citywide reporting

(66.6%) and almost one third of national reporting (80.4%) (Figure 1). Reporting of those with

Bachelor’s degree or higher was also significantly lower than citywide and nationwide reporting.

The majority (64.1%) of Pico-Union reporting was Foreign born (more than 5 times the

nationwide reporting) and 89% reported speaking a language other than English at home.

Income

The Pico-Union median household income ($16,419) reported in 2000, was less than half

of citywide reporting, and less than one-third of the nationwide median household income (Table

2). Perhaps most striking was the Pico-Union reporting of per-capita income ($9,136),

percentages of families below the poverty level (42.3%), and individuals below the poverty level

(43.8%). All three of these categories are significantly lower than reported citywide and

nationwide. This is a complicating disappointment, since the cost of living in Los Angeles is

much higher than most of the country (therefore actual poverty rates for Pico-Union residents,

after adjustments, are much higher).

Preservation Overview

For a wide variety of reasons, Pico-Union contains an extraordinary assortment of

architecturally significant structures that remain from, or near, settlement days. This is due to a

variety of factors, including concerted efforts of long-time constituents and through

governmental policies. While there is still much more preservation work to be done, Pico-

Union, very fortunately, is very far ahead of the curve as large numbers of historic structures

(typically residential structures) remain.


Historic-Cultural Monument Designation

Parcels and properties can be declared Historic-Cultural Monuments (HCMs) by three

levels of government; City, State, and Federal. Each level of government can declare HCM

status independently, while sometimes properties enjoy multiple declarations.

Regarding the City of Los Angeles designation process, the city, in 1962, enacted a

Cultural Heritage Ordinance that protects “resources that have a special aesthetic, architectural,

or engineering interest or value of a historic nature” (City of Los Angeles, 2010a). The Los

Angeles Department of City Planning and the Office of Historical Resources maintain an

inventory of HCM designated properties, as declared by all three levels of government. The

properties are organized by Planning Areas and Community Plans. The Pico-Union HCMs are

included in the Westlake Community Plan (Attachment 2) and 27 properties within Pico-Union

enjoy at least one declaration. Of the 27 properties (Attachment 3), the majority are residential,

built as single-family (but often converted to multi-family), multi-family, or mixed-use

(residential with commercial). Worth noting is that likely upwards of 75 additional properties

that have similar designers, built in the same period, and are very worthy of HCM status are not

listed, due to a variety of factors (process, limitations of HCM status, etc.).

In addition to single property designation, the Federal government has designated and

listed two Pico-Union districts in the National Register of Historical Places; the Alvarado

Terrace Historic District and the Bonnie Brae Historic District.


Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ)

The City of Los Angeles, in 1979, adopted the Historic Preservation Overlay Zone

(HPOZ) ordinance to help preserve and protect “neighborhoods with distinct architectural and

cultural resources” (City of Los Angeles, 2010b). As of 2010, 25 communities have been

protected by the ordinance, Pico-Union being the nineteenth approved HPOZ in 2006 (Map 3).

While the reasons for HPOZ protection varies greatly by community, the HPOZ goals for

Pico-Union were essentially to preserve its residential character “of architectural styles including

late 19th century Victorian-era cottages, early 20th century Craftsman and Mission Revival

bungalows and larger homes in Period Revival or Classical styles…designed by known

architects and builders of the period such as Frank Tyler, Hunt and Burns, Stiles O. Clements,

and Elmer Grey” (City of Los Angeles, 2010c). An expansive description of styles and periods

of architecturally significant structures can be found in the Pico-Union Preservation Plan.

Community Redevelopment Agency Efforts

In 1970, the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles had the foresight to

“preserve and expand affordable housing, encourage economic development,” and “improve the

community’s appearance by rehabilitating housing and businesses,” within a newly created Pico-

Union 1 Project Area (Map 3). In 1976, the adjacent Pico-Union 2 Project Area was created;

together, the two project areas completely overlay all of Pico-Union. The CRA has helped create

hundreds of low- to moderate-income housing opportunities and was instrumental in the HPOZ

designation process.

The recent Pico Boulevard improvements of sidewalk repair and replacement, street tree

replacement, bus shelter installations, street lighting improvements, trash receptacle installations,


and textured decorative crosswalk patterns (photos included in Attachment 1) were part of the

CRA’s Pico Boulevard Streetscape Program. The program, which began at the 110 freeway and

stretched to westward to Hoover Street, helped improve the living conditions, pedestrianization,

and made a main artery of Pico-Union more socially conducive.

Community Involvement

Various waves of community involvement have helped Pico-Union’s continually

transitioning population. The Pico-Union Housing Corporation (established in 1971) and the

Pico-Union Neighborhood Council (established in 1965) have helped steward Pico-Union in a

myriad of ways, including helping to improve and create low- to moderate income residential

options (affordable housing). Created in the 1970s, the Institute of Popular Education of

Southern California (IDEPSCA) helped Central American immigrants assimilate (and

incorporate) and, more recently, the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN) assists

with human and civil rights issues through economic justice based programs. Approximately

two dozen non-profit groups exist, providing these types of services.

Churches have played a big role in the stability of Pico-Union. The Iglesia Angelica

Lutheran (founded in 1888 by Swedish immigrants), in the heart of Pico-Union has “offered

religious services in English, Spanish, Korean, and Kanjobal, an indigenous language of Mexico

and Guatemala” (Watanabe, 2009). During the early 1980s the church became “Part of an anti-

war campaign protesting U.S. foreign policy in Central America, the Sanctuary Movement

started in the Southwest and grew into a network of hundreds of religious congregations that

provided shelter to refugees facing deportation” (Los Angeles Conservancy, 2010). The Central

Spanish Seventh-Day Adventist Church, originally built as the First Church of Christ Scientist in

1912 (designed by Elmer Grey) is also noted for its many humanitarian assistance efforts across


ethnicities. Although no complete record of churches, or their historical and social contributions

within Pico-Union could be found, many churches exist in the range of 80-130 years old.

Open Space, Green Space, and Public Art

Pico-Union is approximately .6 square miles and has little open and green space. In total,

only five small parks or park-like opportunities are closely available (photos included in

Attachment 1) to the highly population density residents. The options are limited, both in size

and access, but are intensely used. The spaces are

• the Salvation Army’s Red Shield soccer field; • the Cesar Chavez Community Garden; • Pico-Union Park; • the Alvarado Terrace Park; and, • Toberman Park.

Public art, through murals and other means, has often been an opportunity for expression

within Pico-Union. Approximately a dozen murals grace its aging infrastructure, often with

connoting messages of recommitment to community. Along these lines, the CRA Pico

Boulevard Streetscape program attempted to accentuate Pico-Unions public spaces by using a

decorative crosswalk pattern at several busy intersections and by imprinting outlines of historic

structures into newly poured sidewalks (photos included in Attachment 1).

Mapping and Photographing Pico-Union’s HCMs

Using information from the City of Los Angeles, Office of Historical Resources, the

Planning Department, and the Westlake Community Plan, I extracted location data for all the

HCMs within Pico-Union (27 properties). I researched each property, by confirming address and

property details (including year built) using NavigateLA and parcel reports (Attachment 3).


Within ArcMap, I used ESRI’s online worldwide street map, created an address locator,

and geocoded the locations (by importing the address and zip code data from an excel file). I

organized the HCMs from west to east, and north to south, and assigned IDs so the locations

could be cross-referenced. I created a map layout, added a second data frame to better show the

large grouping of HCMs on Alvarado Terrace and created the attached Designated Historic-

Cultural Monuments in Pico-Union map (Attachment 1). Additionally, over the course of four

days, I visited and photographed each property (also included in Attachment 1).

Discussion

Pico-Union largely complies with the old adage that the more things change

(demographics and surroundings) the more they stay the same (infrastructure and overall ethnic

diversity). Although its ethic composition has changed significantly over time, from its mixture

of early European settlers to today’s potpourri of international representation, ethnic diversity

seems to be been innate bound to the Pico-Union soil.

Unfortunately, the diversity in terms of income, and all the other factors that are related

to income and opportunity (including formal U.S. education), have been missing for over 50

years. With a median household income of approximately $17,000 and a per capital income of

less than $10,000, it becomes clear that Pico-Union’s incubator of labor to the City of Los

Angeles does not extent much past that. In that context, the extraordinary compromise and

suffering that has been endured by the continually replenishing supply of immigrated peoples

that make their way to and through Pico-Union is staggering. The over-crowded conditions, the

lack of open space, the countless obstacles towards integration, are just some of the major

challenges of current and future generations of those within Pico-Union. Concurrently, those


challenges will be complicated further by the pressures of gentrification as downtown expands

outwards.

In other contexts, the opportunities to immigrants, such as the rich social immigrant

network and the underground economy of Pico-Union, are not available in many other places in

Los Angeles. Across much of Los Angeles, the luxury of freeways have formed barely-

permeable community barriers; creating negative externalities such as social, ethnic, and

economic stratifications, quality of life differences, and divisions of place. In the case of Pico-

Union however, tucked deeply within a corner of the 10 and 110 freeway intersection, has been a

huge benefit, for its own survival and for Los Angeles as a whole. The freeways, directly

(through creating physical barriers) and indirectly (through making the real estate less desirable),

have fostered Pico-Union’s diversity, protected its rich assortment of historical structures

(through lack of private interest of redevelopment), and has provided sanctuary from the cultural

sterilization of gentrification. For these reasons, and many more, Pico-Union has been a

salvation, an incubator, and a never ending supply of culture, labor, and talent. Ironically, these

benefits provided by Pico-Union have been absorbed by a city that has a history of ignoring

communities like Pico-Union.

When describing Pico-Union, current Councilmember Ed Reyes stated, "The issue here is

how do we collaborate and share the space we have," and continued "That, to me, is the beauty

of this area: the coexistence of communities" (Watanabe, 2009). Reyes’ statements might be

best framed as to pertaining within Pico-Union (as there is a cohesive interplay of ethnicities).

Collaborating, sharing space, and “coexistence of communities” between Pico-Union and its

neighbors must be done in a manner that does not absorb nor displacing Pico-Unions innate,

unique, and valuable characteristics.
