Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ironsides
At $1,144 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of West Carson commands. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.
Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.2 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 13% 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 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $81,919, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
