Monrovia Eviction Risk: Elevated

At $3,085 a month, rents run 46% over what the rest of Monrovia commands. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

It sits 1.9 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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