Hewitt takes in 21 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 72,209. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.9/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $64,194 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 26.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,734 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.
17.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Bicycle District and Vermont Square score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 21 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
