Carthay spans 4 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 9,038 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.3/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 35.0% citywide, putting Carthay 21.4% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
29% 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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
At $2,554 a month, rents sit 32% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The 4 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.
Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #81 by risk, the middle third.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $107,773.
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.
