These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dogtown

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

71% 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. Set annual rent against average income of $54,250 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Housing insecurity runs 28.0% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,453 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.4% against 11.3% nationally.

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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
