Adams Square takes in 16 census tracts of Glendale, CA, population 70,710. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.5/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 37.8% citywide, putting Adams Square 20.1% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 9.2/10.
80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The 16 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8 to 9.9, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.9/10.
The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,925 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Glendale commands. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Glendale.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $72,370.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
