Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Florence-Firestone

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 35.0% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.1% against 11.3% nationally.

69% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. At $1,244 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Florence-Graham commands.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10.
