Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alhambra

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.2/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

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. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. 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. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 52% of renters.

Average gross rent is $2,078, close to the Alhambra average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $84,098.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
