Analysis

What drives eviction risk in City Terrace

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 35.5% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 29.3% against 14.2% nationally. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.4/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 90th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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