Downtown Santa Monica Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.6/10. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #6,330 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 55% of renters. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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