Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Alhambra

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 78% 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. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

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 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 55% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,853, close to the Alhambra average.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $73,344.

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