Paramount Eviction Risk: High

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $71,053, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. 69% 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.

Food insecurity runs 28.5% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 23.9% against 15.2% nationally. At $2,077 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Paramount commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
