Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westmont

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. SNAP participation runs 39.6% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.3/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs 65% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Housing insecurity runs 27.8% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Average gross rent is $1,206, 18% below the Westmont average. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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