Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 71% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Annualized rent equals 52% of average household income of $33,214, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, economic stress reads 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. SNAP participation runs 31.2% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,449 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 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

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