Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lair Port

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 20.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $3,171, close to the Del Aire average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $146,225. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
