· range 8.4–9.9
Sunland spans 6 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 21,951 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.1/10, in the High tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.4 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $2,109 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.
That places it #96 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Legends at Cascades and Devonshire Highlands. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $95,738.
35% 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.
