Westchester Triangle spans 8 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 31,290 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.9/10, High tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
Average gross rent is $2,811, 45% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.8/10.
The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.4 to 9.9, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. That places it #108 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $138,616. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
