Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newton Park

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Food insecurity runs 25.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 21.7% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,691, 13% below the Los Angeles average. 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 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
