Toy District Eviction Risk: High

4 census tracts · pop 9,072 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

Toy District is a 4-tract neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA and houses 9,072 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, High tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is a renter market: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,572 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

SNAP participation is 27.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 27.5% of adults, 9.7 points above the national rate.

Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Vermont Square and Ramona Gardens score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

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.
