Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 55% of renters.

Average gross rent is $2,373, close to the Lakewood average.
