On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,260 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Bel Air commands.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $63,509.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
