Sawtelle Japantown Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

87% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,359, 22% above the Los Angeles average.

It sits 0.7 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 53% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $99,485.
