How ratings work

The safety score is 0–100, weighted 45 percent violent crime, 30 percent property crime, and 25 percent night and pedestrian safety. Weekday commutes for Ashley to Relativity Space in Long Beach and for Verena to SpaceX in Hawthorne are listed separately and are not in the score. Drive times are Google Maps typical traffic for a midweek 8:00 AM drive to work and a 5:30 PM drive home. Each report cites local police or sheriff crime data, block-level crime grades, and recent incident maps or news.

Best for both

Best for both: 21103 Donora Ave, Apt B

21103 Donora Ave, Apt B is the best fit for both of them. It is the safest of the four (Grade B, 81). Because its morning drive times are listed as ranges, this comparison uses the midpoints already used for sorting: about 37 minutes for Ashley (typically 24–50 minutes at 8 AM) and about 32 minutes for Verena (typically 18–45 minutes at 8 AM). Together that is a combined typical 8 AM drive of about 69 minutes, and the longer of the two is about 37 minutes — the most even split of the four, so neither is stuck with a long drive. The 2-bed rent is $2,700/mo, $100 more than the other listings, which start at $2,600/mo.

Ranked for both
  1. 21103 Donora Ave, Apt B — Grade B (81); combined typical 8 AM drive about 69 min (37 + 32, midpoints); longer drive about 37 min; $2,700/mo
  2. Commodore Apartments — Grade B (78); combined typical 8 AM drive 80 min (50 + 30); longer drive 50 min; $2,600/mo
  3. Copa Pacific — Grade B (77); combined typical 8 AM drive 85 min (50 + 35); longer drive 50 min; $2,600–$2,900/mo
  4. 18402 Regina Ave — Grade C (69); combined typical 8 AM drive 63 min (45 + 18); longer drive 45 min; $2,600/mo

Ranked by safety score first, then the combined typical 8 AM drive and the longer of the two drives, then 2-bed rent. When a listing gives a morning range instead of a single typical time, the midpoint already used for sorting is used here.

If they chose separately

If they were choosing separately: 21103 Donora Ave, Apt B is also the best balance for Ashley alone — it is Grade B (81), and her typical 8 AM drive is about 37 minutes (the midpoint of the listed 24–50 minute range), the quickest of the four on that measure. 18402 Regina Ave is closer in distance (13.2 mi to Relativity), with a single typical time of 45 minutes, but only Grade C (69). For Verena, it is also the best balance — it is Grade B (81), and her typical 8 AM drive is about 32 minutes (the midpoint of the listed 18–45 minute range). 18402 Regina Ave is her shortest typical morning drive (18 minutes) but only Grade C (69).
