Westlake South Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $36,411, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,381, 29% below the Los Angeles average. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 21.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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.
