Sherwood Forest is a 11-tract neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, population 48,252. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. 30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
The 11 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.4 to 9.9, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. That places it #96 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Legends at Cascades and Sunland.
Average gross rent runs $2,025, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $98,971.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.1 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.
