Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Adams Square

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $48,378 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 87% 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.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. 65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,871, 14% below the Glendale 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 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, 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.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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