Sawtelle Eviction Risk: High , Santa Monica

This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,863, 22% below the Santa Monica average. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 46% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
