Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highland Park

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 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. Nationally it ranks #4,393 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,848, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $112,574.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
