Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Junction

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,120, 10% above the Los Angeles average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

Nationally it ranks #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
