Van Ness Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Set annual rent against average income of $32,475 and the ratio lands at 55%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 69% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. SNAP participation runs 36.0% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

At $1,498 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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