Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

Set annual rent against average income of $11,270 and the ratio lands at 204%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The poverty rate is 78%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 10/10. 100% 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.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Housing insecurity runs 25.2% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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