Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westmont

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.3/10.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.9/10. Cost burden runs 45% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 21.8% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,603, 9% above the Westmont average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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