Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ramona Gardens

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,250, 35% below the Los Angeles average.

82% 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. SNAP participation runs 33.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Set annual rent against average income of $41,563 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Adults with no health insurance runs 22.7% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
