East La Mirada spans 8 census tracts of La Mirada, CA and houses 37,365 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the La Mirada rate of 33.5%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.2 to 6.4, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
At $1,987 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of La Mirada commands. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $104,812. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
