Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roosevelt

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 22.6% against 15.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.
