Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $2,775, 18% above the Lakewood average. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 57% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $136,968.

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.
