Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Park

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 49.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.8% against 14.2% nationally.

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

76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Average gross rent is $1,581, 18% below the Los Angeles average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
