Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,655, 13% above the Lakewood average.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 54% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $108,085. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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