Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Koreatown
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Against Orange County at 51.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. 75% 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 softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Food insecurity runs 29.6% against 17.8% nationally.
The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 25.5% against 15.2% nationally.
