Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

86% 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. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $49,848 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. SNAP participation runs 31.6% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,448 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Housing insecurity runs 25.6% against 14.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 60% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
