Strawberry Park takes in 18 census tracts of Gardena, CA and houses 66,861 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.1/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 33.2% citywide, putting Strawberry Park 19.7% over its own city.
The 18 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.4 to 9.9, a 3.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. The closest comparables inside the same city are Roosevelt and Moneta.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,776, close to the Gardena average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $79,191. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
