Whitley Heights Historic District Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. 68% 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.

Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $2,042, close to the Los Angeles average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $97,384.

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