Westmont Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $34,933 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

89% 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. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.3/10. 66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
