Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Baird Park

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

At $1,185 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Food insecurity runs 25.7% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $94,926, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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.
