The Alhambra Eviction Risk: Elevated

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

It sits 0.9 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,818, close to the Alhambra average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $87,530.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
