Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alvarado Terrace Historic District

At $1,099 a month, rents run 43% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 30.0% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.5% against 11.3% nationally. Cost burden runs 47% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

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.
