Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cudahy

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 38.4% against 14.2% nationally. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $44,792, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 67% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Disability prevalence runs 46.8% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.5 points above 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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