Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 34.1% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,250, 16% below the East Los Angeles average. It sits 0.9 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 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.

Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
