Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westmont

80% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. SNAP participation runs 33.6% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $60,122, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Food insecurity runs 34.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
