Westlake South Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

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.

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,871, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $85,313.

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.
