Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newton Park

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Cost burden runs 48% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $167,452, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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