What drives eviction risk in Compton
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 44.3% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

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. That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
