Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sherman Oaks

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $85,878, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. At $2,317 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

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