Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Long Beach

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $53,707 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.5% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
