· range 6.5–9.7
The Alhambra spans 15 census tracts of Alhambra, CA and houses 62,002 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Alhambra baseline of 31.2%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.5 to 9.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
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 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
At $1,817 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Alhambra commands. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $87,916.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
