Emerald Isle Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 12,274 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6–7.7

Emerald Isle spans 2 census tracts of Glendale, CA and houses 12,274 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7/10, in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Against a Glendale baseline of 37.8%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6 to 7.7, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.

Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,372, 9% above the Glendale average of $2,182. That places it #6 of 6 neighborhoods in Glendale. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rancho San Rafael and Sparr Heights.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
