Universal City Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Average gross rent is $2,522, 30% above the Los Angeles average. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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 #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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