Analysis

What drives eviction risk in San Pedro

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,063, 58% above the Los Angeles average. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 9.5/10. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #5,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
