· range 5.6–7.8
Tree Section takes in 6 census tracts of Manhattan Beach, CA and houses 22,197 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Manhattan Beach baseline of 24.4%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 7.8, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Food insecurity affects 5.4% of adults, 12.4 points below the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,329, close to the Manhattan Beach average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $195,127.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
