Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lair Port

74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Set annual rent against average income of $36,390 and the ratio lands at 58%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 33.0% against 14.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.9/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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