Neighborhood occupancy near 96% points to steady renter demand in this Los Angeles metro pocket, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. These conditions support income stability at the neighborhood level, though performance ultimately depends on asset operations.
Situated in Compton’s Urban Core within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro, the property benefits from neighborhood occupancy that is above the metro median (rank 599 of 1,441), indicating comparatively resilient leasing conditions at the neighborhood level rather than the property itself. Restaurant and park access score well versus national peers (both above the 80th percentile nationally), while grocery access trends above average; by contrast, pharmacies and cafes are sparse, which may modestly affect everyday convenience.
Schools in the area trend above national norms (average rating in the 76th percentile nationwide), a supportive signal for family-oriented renters. Neighborhood home values sit in a higher-cost ownership market (around the 85th national percentile) with a high value-to-income ratio (about the 90th percentile), which tends to reinforce reliance on multifamily housing and can support pricing power and lease retention where rent-to-income remains manageable.
Tenure patterns indicate a balanced base for rentals. Neighborhood data show a moderate share of housing units that are renter-occupied (around two-fifths), while the broader 3-mile radius tracks closer to an even split between renter- and owner-occupied units. For investors, this suggests a sufficiently deep tenant base with room for demand capture through quality management and positioning.
Within a 3-mile radius, recent trends show slight population contraction alongside a small increase in household count and a decrease in average household size. Forward-looking projections indicate continued reduction in household size with an increase in total households, which can translate into a larger pool of renting households over time and support occupancy stability. Forecast rent growth in the radius also points upward, underscoring potential for income growth subject to affordability and management execution.
Safety indicators for the neighborhood trend below national averages (crime safety around the 28th percentile nationally), and violent and property offense percentiles are also on the lower side compared with neighborhoods nationwide. Recent data show property offenses declining year over year, which is constructive, while violent offense trends have moved higher.
Investors should underwrite with prudent assumptions, including appropriate security measures, lighting, and tenant screening, and compare loss histories and insurance quotes with similar Los Angeles metro assets to benchmark risk management needs over the hold period.
Proximity to Airgas, Coca-Cola Downey, Raytheon Public Safety RTC, Air Products & Chemicals, and International Paper supports a steady employment base and commute convenience that can reinforce renter demand and retention.

Built in 2001, the asset is materially newer than the surrounding housing stock (average vintage 1950s), offering relative competitiveness versus older properties while leaving room for targeted modernization to enhance positioning. Neighborhood occupancy trends above the metro median and a higher-cost ownership landscape support durable renter demand and potential pricing power, according to commercial real estate analysis from WDSuite. At the 3-mile radius, smaller household sizes and increasing household counts point to a broader renter pool even as population growth remains muted.
Investors should weigh mixed amenity depth—strong parks, restaurants, and grocery access alongside limited pharmacies and cafes—and underwrite prudent security and retention strategies given below-average safety percentiles. With disciplined expense control and selective upgrades, the asset can compete effectively for workforce households drawn by nearby employment and ownership cost differentials.
- 2001 vintage offers competitive positioning versus older neighborhood stock with value-add potential through modernization
- Neighborhood occupancy above metro median supports income stability at the neighborhood level
- High-cost ownership market reinforces multifamily demand and can aid retention
- 3-mile radius shows rising household counts and smaller household sizes, expanding the renter base
- Risks: below-average safety percentiles and uneven amenity depth warrant active management and underwriting discipline
