The Alhambra Eviction Risk: High

76% 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. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,779, 8% below the Alhambra average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $76,780.

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