Omaha Heights Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,632 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Omaha Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA and houses 4,632 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. 43% 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.

68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $55,313 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Food insecurity affects 35.4% of adults, 17.6 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,639 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Vermont Square and Ramona Gardens score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
