Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

At $878 a month, rents run 55% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Food insecurity runs 50.4% against 17.8% nationally.

This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $25,725 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 48.9% against 31.5% nationally. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
