Dogtown Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

93% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. At $1,306 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 30.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 32.4% against 17.8% nationally. 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. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
