Westgate Heights Eviction Risk: High

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

25% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. Average gross rent is $2,431, 26% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933.

The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 3.0% 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. 2.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #140 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Beverly Glen and Hollywood Hills score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $191,316, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
