Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Little Ethiopia

Cost burden runs 38% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 0.9 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10.

Against average income of $126,250, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
