· range 7.7–9.9
Rancho Dominguez spans 3 census tracts of Compton, CA and houses 11,701 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.9/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 35.9% citywide, putting Rancho Dominguez 15.9% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 37.7% of adults, 19.9 points above the national rate.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.7 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
20.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,547, 7% below the Compton average of $1,664. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $68,108. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
