Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Baird Park

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $1,442, 25% below the Los Angeles average. It sits 1.4 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Housing insecurity runs 25.8% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.5% against 11.3% nationally. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
