Gallery Row Eviction Risk: High

Average gross rent is $1,044, 46% below the Los Angeles average of $1,933. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

This is a renter market: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 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.

That places it #62 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. For a like-for-like read, Miracle Mile and Little Italy score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $46,519.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
