Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newton Park

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

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles.

On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,908, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $103,026. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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