Monterey Park Eviction Risk: High

Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $42,713, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. Food insecurity runs 31.6% against 17.8% nationally.

At $1,497 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Monterey Park commands. SNAP participation runs 26.7% against 15.2% nationally.

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. It sits 0.9 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

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 #3,082 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 1.8 points hotter.

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