Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bungalow Heaven

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,796, 24% below the Altadena average. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters.

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