· range 9.9–9.9
South Park takes in 6 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 29,331. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.9/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 35.0% citywide, putting South Park 26.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.8/10.
30.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average household income of $53,992 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,520, 21% below the Los Angeles average of $1,933. Disability prevalence reaches 47.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 9.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
