Pacific Palisades Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,492 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Pacific Palisades maps to a single census tract in Los Angeles, CA and houses 3,492 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.4/10, in the High tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 81% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 35% 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.

47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.

The voucher gap is 33.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

Food insecurity affects 4.6% of adults, 13.2 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

That places it #140 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are Beverly Glen and Hollywood Hills.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $163,643.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
