Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Gate

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 34.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 29.1% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #4,393 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

56% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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.
