Analysis

What drives eviction risk in City Terrace

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 29.8% against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 28.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
