Arleta takes in 10 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 35,646 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.4/10, placing it in the High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
38% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Food insecurity affects 34.2% of adults, 16.4 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 29.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $2,325, 20% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. The 10 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.7 to 9.9, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #74 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Wilton Historic District and El Merrie Del score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $95,590.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 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.
