Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Adams Square

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. At $1,709 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Glendale commands.

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. 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 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $70,903.

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