Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dayton Avenue

88% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Average gross rent is $791, 59% below the Los Angeles average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Housing insecurity runs 36.1% against 14.2% nationally. 88% 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. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
