South Gate Eviction Risk: High

roughly three in four of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Food insecurity runs 37.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Set annual rent against average income of $59,514 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Housing insecurity runs 29.7% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $1,734, 13% above the South Gate average.

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 #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
