Baird Park spans 3 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 8,871. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.7/10, placing it in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Average gross rent is $1,314, 32% below the Los Angeles average of $1,933. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #52 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Sun Valley and Dayton Avenue score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $88,460, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 3 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
