Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harvard Park

SNAP participation runs 45.2% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $52,143, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Average gross rent is $1,492, 23% below the Los Angeles average.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

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