Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Monte

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 76% 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.

Housing insecurity runs 31.4% against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $54,708, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.8% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. At $1,494 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of El Monte commands.
