El Nido spans 13 census tracts of Redondo Beach, CA and houses 61,815 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 28.6% citywide, putting El Nido 13.3% over its own city.
The 13 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.2 to 9.2, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $2,375, 12% below the Redondo Beach average of $2,691. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $138,221.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3 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.
