Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sherman Oaks

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

79% 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. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 44% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.8 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $2,063, close to the Los Angeles average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
