Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Monte

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $61,775 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 27.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

It sits 1.1 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Housing insecurity runs 22.4% against 14.2% nationally. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.

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