Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Little Italy
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.2/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Cost burden runs 49% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. 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.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $83,717. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
