Los Angeles Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 81% above the Los Angeles average. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. The voucher gap is 33.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $118,387, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
