Baldwin Hills has an approximately 76 percent African American population.
The hills that are the namesake of the neighborhood have long been drilled for petroleum. As the oil companies leave some of their properties are being taken over by public agencies. The area is lacking in public parks. One section has been designated the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area.
