Tree Section Eviction Risk: Moderate , Manhattan Beach

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.8 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 33.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 64% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 4.9% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $237,798, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
