· range 8.2–9.9
Lennox takes in 13 census tracts of Inglewood, CA and houses 59,473 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 9.4/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 35.5% citywide, putting Lennox 19.0% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. The 13 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.2 to 9.9, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
SNAP participation is 30.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 20.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,669, 7% below the Inglewood average of $1,787. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Inglewood, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
