Lake Balboa Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 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. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 23.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,752 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
