Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harvard Park

SNAP participation runs 44.3% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $46,909 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Cost burden runs 66% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 81% 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. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Average gross rent is $1,643, 15% below the Los Angeles average. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
