Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harvard Park

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,458, 25% below the Los Angeles average.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 46% of renters here are cost-burdened. Housing insecurity runs 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 27.7% against 17.8% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
