Vermont Knolls Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Annualized rent equals 52% of average household income of $27,895, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 39.7% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, economic stress reads 9.6/10. 92% 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. Average gross rent is $1,214, 37% below the Los Angeles average.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10.

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.

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.
