Ocean Park Eviction Risk: High , Santa Monica

98% 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. Average gross rent is $3,210, 34% above the Santa Monica average.

Set annual rent against average income of $105,199 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #2,339 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
