Orange Heights Eviction Risk: High , Pasadena

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $42,101, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $1,456, 36% below the Pasadena average. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
