Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Vermont Knolls

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 47.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Cost burden runs 67% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $52,428, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 66% 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 $1,562, 19% below the Los Angeles average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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