Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairfax

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $2,639, 37% above the Los Angeles average. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

66% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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