Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Saint James Park

Set annual rent against average income of $26,421 and the ratio lands at 64%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 44.9% against 17.8% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 10/10. This is renter territory: 96% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,414, 27% below the Los Angeles average. Housing insecurity runs 29.0% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

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. 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.
