Ocean Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Santa Monica

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters.

Average gross rent is $2,327, close to the Santa Monica average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $139,625. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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