Ramona Gardens Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $42,066, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 85% 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. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. At $1,514 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.4% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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. Social vulnerability reads 10/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
