What drives eviction risk in Lawndale
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent is $1,889, close to the Lawndale average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $113,500. 49% 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.
