Riviera Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 7,221 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Riviera spans 2 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 7,221. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, in the High tier. 46% 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.

Cost burden runs 53% against 35.0% citywide, putting Riviera 18.2% over its own city. At $2,962 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

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.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 2.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The voucher gap is 12.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #140 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Beverly Glen and Hollywood Hills. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
