Dayton Avenue Eviction Risk: High

7 census tracts · pop 19,373 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.7/10 · range 8.7–9.9

Dayton Avenue takes in 7 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 19,373. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.7/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 35.0% citywide, putting Dayton Avenue 16.7% over its own city.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

SNAP participation is 32.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.7 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $1,554 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

That places it #52 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. For a like-for-like read, Sun Valley and Pacoima score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $66,663.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
