Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Strawberry Park
Average gross rent is $2,500, 54% above the West Athens average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.
Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.0 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $106,793.
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.
