Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cambodia Town

83% 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. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $63,813, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Cost burden runs 60% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Food insecurity runs 26.6% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 23.7% against 15.2% nationally. 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 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
