· range 5.3–9.9
Dominguez spans 4 census tracts of Carson, CA, population 17,691. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 9.9, a 4.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Against a Carson baseline of 31.9%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Carson, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,897, close to the Carson average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $96,256. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
