Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sherman Oaks

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $2,460 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
