The Flats takes in 7 census tracts of Beverly Hills, CA, population 24,633. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Beverly Hills baseline of 33.0%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.7 to 9.9, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. 3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 10.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent runs $2,892, close to the Beverly Hills average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $151,448.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
