Mount Washington Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 83% 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.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 27.4% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 24.7% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,709 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. 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 9/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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