· range 6.4–9.9
Newton Park spans 8 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 27,207 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.8/10, in the High tier. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 6.4 to 9.9. A 3.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.9/10.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #114 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Deerlake Ranch and Eagle Rock. Average gross rent runs $1,861, close to the Los Angeles average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,992. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
