Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Moneta

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. 68% 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.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. 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 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,705, close to the Gardena average.

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.
