Aldea at Porter Ranch Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The voucher gap is 13.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 3.9% 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.

Average gross rent is $1,816, 6% below the Los Angeles average of $1,933. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #136 by risk, the lower third.

At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Harbor City and The Heights at Porter Ranch score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 8.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
