What drives eviction risk in Westwood Village
The poverty rate is 63%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, economic stress reads 10/10.
This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity runs 39.9% against 17.8% nationally.
On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. At $1,318 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
