Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Van Nuys

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $57,558 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity runs 32.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. At $1,584 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.6% against 11.3% nationally. 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 #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10.

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

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.
