Watts Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Food insecurity runs 44.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $51,840, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.6% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,600 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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