California Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Long Beach

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. It sits 0.6 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least 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 $1,929, close to the Long Beach average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $103,578. 30% 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.
