The Citadel Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 1,849 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

At $1,314 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Glendale commands. 18.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 30.7% of renter households.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 19.0% in 2005 against a 30.7% peak.

Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Glendale, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 4.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
