Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alvarado Terrace Historic District

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,196, 38% below the Los Angeles average.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $35,375, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 48.0% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Cost burden runs 59% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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