· range 8.4–9.9
Westwood Village takes in 7 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 24,692 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9/10, in the High tier. Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. At $1,176 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.4 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 26.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 31% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate. That places it #105 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
