Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Alhambra

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 67% 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.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

At $1,776 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Alhambra commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

Nationally it ranks #5,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $71,339.
