Westmont Eviction Risk: High

72% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 49.6% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $39,280, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

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

71% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.8% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Average gross rent is $1,559, 19% below the Los Angeles average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles.
