What drives eviction risk in Compton
Housing insecurity runs 35.3% against 14.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. At $1,348 a month, rents run 19% 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 C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #3,529 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,981.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
