Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Los Angeles

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 34.8% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.2% against 11.3% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

At $1,334 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of East Los Angeles commands. 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. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

52% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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