Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mount Washington

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Average gross rent is $1,581, 18% below the Los Angeles average.

Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 21.8% against 14.2% nationally. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
