Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Junction

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. 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.

Average gross rent is $2,008, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $120,000.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
