Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Monte

Food insecurity runs 39.2% against 17.8% nationally. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 34.5% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $59,861 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, 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 1.1 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. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

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