Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Walker
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.
Housing insecurity runs 26.0% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.5% against 11.3% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,375, 11% below the Commerce average. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.7/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
