Watts Eviction Risk: High , Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $57,000, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.0% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Cost burden runs 58% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,646, 8% above the Florence-Graham average. 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 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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