Hawthorne Eviction Risk: High

Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 47.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $48,165 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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