Cambodia Town spans 32 census tracts of Long Beach, CA and houses 138,459 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.5/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Long Beach baseline of 32.8%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The 32 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 9.9, a 4.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 79% 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.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.6/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.3/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 30.2% of adults, 12.4 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,718, 8% below the Long Beach average of $1,871. That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Long Beach.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
