Boyle Heights Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Food insecurity runs 52.5% against 17.8% nationally. 100% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 33.3% against 11.3% nationally.

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $52,262 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,625 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

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.
