Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lafayette Park Square

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 35.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity runs 36.8% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $58,326, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. The poverty rate is 21%.

Average gross rent is $1,640, 15% below the Los Angeles average. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10.
