Analysis

What drives eviction risk in New Chinatown

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. At $1,248 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Set annual rent against average income of $41,944 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. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 28.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 26.0% against 15.2% 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.

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.
