Why Compton Homes Get Retrofitted
Most of Compton's homes were built between the 1920s and the 1950s. They are modest wood-frame houses, many on raised foundations with short, unbraced cripple walls.
Compton was one of the cities hit hardest by the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, which wrecked much of its downtown. The Newport-Inglewood Fault that caused it runs along the city's west side.
