Montebello Eviction Risk: High

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Set annual rent against average income of $42,972 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. SNAP participation runs 34.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 37.3% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

73% 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. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $1,634, 11% below the Montebello average.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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