Braewood is a 5-tract neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, population 25,222. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
Average gross rent is $3,254, 68% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
24% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.8/10.
The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 8.4, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The voucher gap is 24.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
3.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #157 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Rose Hill and Brentwood Park. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $156,678.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 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.
