Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Canoga Park

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 39.3% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $53,413 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

At $1,578 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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.
