Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Junction

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 91% 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.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $65,598 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 24.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.9/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,800, close to the Los Angeles average.

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.
