Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mount Washington

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 46% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. 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.

Nationally it ranks #4,393 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, 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 $1,879, close to the Los Angeles average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $82,521. 64% 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.
