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.
Brief Spatial Biography of Pico-Union

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 multifamily 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.

Not surprising of working class immigrant communities, the percentage of males in PicoUnion 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% renteroccupied, 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 multifamily housing).
Perhaps not surprising for a community comprised of recent immigrants (but very telltale 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, PicoUnion, 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 PicoUnion 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,

15
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 antiwar 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

16
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).
Brief Spatial Biography of Pico-Union
17
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 HistoricCultural 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
Brief Spatial Biography of Pico-Union
18
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 barelypermeable community barriers; creating negative externalities such as social, ethnic, and
economic stratifications, quality of life differences, and divisions of place. In the case of PicoUnion 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.
