· range 7.7–9.7
Belmont Shore spans 8 census tracts of Long Beach, CA and houses 38,315 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, in the High tier. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Long Beach rate of 32.8%. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 7.7 to 9.7. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.5/10. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
At $2,018 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Long Beach commands. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Long Beach, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Los Altos and California Heights.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $103,456.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
