Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty 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.

Average gross rent is $1,242, 36% below the Los Angeles average. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.4% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
