South Gate Eviction Risk: High

29% 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, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Housing insecurity runs 27.5% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 26.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. 48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,412, close to the South Gate average.

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.
