Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walker

SNAP participation runs 33.2% against 15.2% nationally. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $59,886, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Housing insecurity runs 31.1% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,738, 14% above the Maywood average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
