Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park La Brea

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

84% 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. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $2,432 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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