Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wilmington

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Housing insecurity runs 43.7% against 14.2% nationally. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 70% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 46%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 10/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $33,526 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 92% 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, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 51.3% against 31.5% nationally.

At $1,296 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

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.
