Strawberry Park Eviction Risk: High , Gardena

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 58% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

At $1,961 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Gardena commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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.
