Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Altadena

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 59% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Average gross rent is $2,025, 14% below the Altadena average. 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 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.
