Harbor City maps to a single census tract in Los Angeles, CA and houses 2,731 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
roughly three in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
At $1,241 a month, rents sit 36% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
18.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #136 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Heights at Porter Ranch and Aldea at Porter Ranch.
Against average income of $99,549, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 8.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
