Roosevelt is a 5-tract neighborhood of Gardena, CA and houses 18,899 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Gardena rate of 33.2%.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 9.9, a 3.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
Average gross rent is $2,237, 24% above the Gardena average of $1,809. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Moneta and Strawberry Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $93,166. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
