Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Monte

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Set annual rent against average income of $61,563 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 28.1% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. SNAP participation runs 22.7% against 15.2% nationally.

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 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
