In Central Hollywood, during the 1930s, population became denser, housing values declined, and rooming houses increasingly defined much of the neighborhood. The lodging population was mostly white and native-born (but with significant Asian minorities), young, transient, and maritally unattached. They constituted a working class that was often precariously employed in the entertainment industry, the service sector, and other unskilled or semi-skilled occupations. The rooming houses and residential hotels provided the possibility of housing for the unemployed, the poorly paid, the temporary resident, and the elderly. Lodgers formed part of a socially diverse population in a neighborhood that offered opportunities for employment, services, and entertainment, usually within walking distance. During a decade when migration to Los Angeles was still considerable, rooming houses provided a flexibility in housing possibilities that would decline after the Second World War.

电影之都的一间房间：20 世纪 30 年代好莱坞住宿的社会经济和城市变迁

在 20 世纪 30 年代，好莱坞中部人口变得更加密集，住房价值下降，出租房屋日益成为该社区的主要特征。住宿人口大多是白人和土生土长的人（但也有不少亚裔少数民族）、年轻人、流动人口和未婚人士。他们构成了一个经常不稳定地受雇于娱乐业、服务业和其他非熟练或半熟练职业的工人阶级。出租屋和住宿旅馆为失业者、低收入者、临时居民和老年人提供了住房的可能性。房客是社区中社会多元化人口的一部分，提供就业、服务和娱乐机会，通常步行即可到达。在移民到洛杉矶的人数仍然相当多的十年里，分租房提供了住房可能性的灵活性，这种灵活性在第二次世界大战后会下降。
