Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

At $1,836 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Lakewood commands. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $132,875, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

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.
