Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brentwood Park

Cost burden runs 39% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.3% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,709, 13% above the Santa Monica average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 0.7 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

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. Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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