Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harvard Heights

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, 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. Set annual rent against average income of $57,783 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Cost burden runs 63% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,652 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

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