2 census tracts · pop 10,998 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.6/10
· range 7.8–9.2
Montrose spans 2 census tracts of Glendale, CA and houses 10,998 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.6/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 52%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Glendale rate of 37.8%. 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 9/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.8 to 9.2, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $2,333, 7% above the Glendale average of $2,182.
That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Glendale. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $116,677. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
