Jewelry District Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

Average gross rent is $3,004, 55% above the Los Angeles average. Set annual rent against average income of $71,726 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. 90% 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.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 31%, 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. The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
