Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harvard Park

Cost burden runs 87% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Food insecurity runs 38.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 30.9% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,360 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 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 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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