What drives eviction risk in Harvard Heights
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. At $1,207 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. 88% 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.
Food insecurity runs 38.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $37,285 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.9% against 11.3% nationally.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
