Bungalow Heaven Eviction Risk: Elevated

6 census tracts · pop 26,176 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 6.5–9.2

Bungalow Heaven takes in 6 census tracts of Pasadena, CA, population 26,176. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 31.5% citywide, putting Bungalow Heaven 17.7% over its own city.

27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 9.2. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $2,016, 11% below the Pasadena average of $2,265. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Pasadena.

For a like-for-like read, Washington Square and Normandie Heights score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $96,651. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 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.
