Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lennox

38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

65% 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. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. 17% 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 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 27.6% against 17.8% nationally.
