Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. At $3,090 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Lakewood commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Cost burden runs 59% 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 7% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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