Madison Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Pasadena rate of 31.5%. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.4 to 7.7, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

At $2,593 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Pasadena commands. 3.8% 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. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Pasadena, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Washington Square and Old Pasadena. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $119,815.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
