Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Strawberry Park

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

Cost burden runs 44% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Average gross rent is $1,650, 9% below the Gardena average. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $84,821. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
