Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Van Ness

about three-quarters of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

At $1,117 a month, rents run 42% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Set annual rent against average income of $28,415 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 86% 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.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 43.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
