Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Monterey Park

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $59,922, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
