Hawthorne Eviction Risk: High

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 93% 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 softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 25.2% against 14.2% nationally.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Food insecurity runs 27.8% against 17.8% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
