Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Florence

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 54.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $36,131 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,260, 35% below the Los Angeles average.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.9% against 11.3% nationally. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
