Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hill Section

It sits 2.8 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. At $2,259 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Manhattan Beach commands.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.9% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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 #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $181,518, annual rent is just 15%.
