San Pedro is a 3-tract suburb of Los Angeles, CA and houses 9,616 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.1/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. That places it #96 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Only 27% 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. For a like-for-like read, The Legends at Cascades and Sunland score within a fraction of it.
The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,981, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $109,194.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
