Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westdale

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $2,364 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

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 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $125,618.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
