Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highlands

Average gross rent is $3,501, 81% above the Los Angeles average. Sitting well above the midpoint, 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.

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
