Park La Brea Eviction Risk: High

13 census tracts · pop 38,410 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.2/10 · range 8.4–9.9

Park La Brea takes in 13 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 38,410 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. At $2,641 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.1/10.

Scores across the 13 constituent tracts range from 8.4 to 9.9. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate. That places it #89 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are Reseda Ranch and Tarzana.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
