Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Walnut Park

Food insecurity runs 40.6% against 17.8% nationally. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

77% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 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.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, 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. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 56% of renters.

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