City Terrace Eviction Risk: High , East Los Angeles

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $41,205, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 67% 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.

Disability prevalence runs 46.0% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,218 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of East Los Angeles commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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