What drives eviction risk in Compton
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $42,112, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.7% against 11.3% nationally. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 46.5% against 31.5% nationally. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.
At $1,398 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Compton commands. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
