Ironsides Eviction Risk: Elevated , Los Angeles

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.2 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,815, 20% below the Torrance average. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

Nationally it ranks #17,132 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $128,293, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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