Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lawndale
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 469 evictions over 17 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2008 at 12.4% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.
Against average income of $59,806, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Summit County average of 4.1 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
