Sentous spans 5 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 19,327 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.4/10, in the High tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 8.4 to 9.9. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Average gross rent is $2,163, 12% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. That places it #74 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arleta and Wilton Historic District.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $93,711. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
