El Nido Eviction Risk: Elevated , Redondo Beach

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.1 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10.

76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Set annual rent against average income of $99,342 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. At $2,661 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Torrance commands. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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