As I said before, I would wager that if you were to compare prices of a number of stores in the valley to those in South Central, you'd find on average higher prices in South Central mainly due to the convenience factor ( or lack thereof), the higher insurance premiums due to it being a "high crime area," extra security etc.
When I lived there more than 10 years ago no one wanted to open up new businesses in certain areas of South Central which equaled less competition, and once again a big inconvenience to have to drive miles just to get to the nearest grocery store.
But then things could have changed since then.

Ah, I get it now. I agree.
I wonder if it differs between the black areas, the asian areas, and the mexican areas. There must be a difference. I would place myself in the mexican area, where South Central would most likely be more black.
I bet if differs that way.
I'll take your experience over my guessing ;)
