Palos Verdes Estates Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.2 points. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.5% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
