Altadena Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $92,009, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,543, close to the Altadena average.

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