Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cudahy

32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $52,139 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Adults with no health insurance runs 30.3% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10.

64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
