Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tujunga

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,441 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $69,676.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
