Saint James Park Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. At $1,185 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Food insecurity runs 38.0% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $35,319 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 63% 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.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 10/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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