Lamanda Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

Scores across the 9 constituent tracts range from 5.1 to 7.6. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $2,498 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Pasadena commands. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #7 of 7 neighborhoods in Pasadena. For a like-for-like read, Old Pasadena and Madison Heights score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $126,394. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
