Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newton Park

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,513 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.2 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.
