Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alvarado Terrace Historic District

Food insecurity runs 50.3% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $47,368, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 46.8% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,401, 28% below the Los Angeles average. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
