Analysis

What drives eviction risk in San Pedro

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,668, 14% below the Los Angeles average. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $114,514, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 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.
