Westcliffe at Porter Ranch Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 9,302 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Westcliffe at Porter Ranch maps to a single census tract in Los Angeles, CA and houses 9,302 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.4/10, in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

38% 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. At $3,359 a month, rents sit 74% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The voucher gap is 28.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #140 by risk, the lower third.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $185,852. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 8.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
