Van Nuys Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $60,794, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Cost burden runs 61% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. SNAP participation runs 25.0% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,756, 9% below the Los Angeles average.

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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
