Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Melrose Hill Historic Preservation Overlay Zone

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $64,643, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Cost burden runs 63% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. SNAP participation runs 26.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. 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.

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