Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. The voucher gap is 33.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.8% against 11.3% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.8% against 14.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").
