North Long Beach is a 16-tract suburb of Long Beach, CA and houses 71,273 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.6/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 32.8% citywide, putting North Long Beach 23.7% over its own city.
33% 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. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 29.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Scores across the 16 constituent tracts range from 8.9 to 9.9. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,656 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Long Beach commands. That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Long Beach.
For a like-for-like read, Cambodia Town and Willowville score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
