Watts Eviction Risk: Elevated , Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Food insecurity runs 35.9% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.4% against 11.3% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,715, close to the Lynwood average.

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.
