Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alvarado Terrace Historic District

SNAP participation runs 38.5% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Severe burden reaches 22%. 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. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
