Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alhambra

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $78,479 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Cost burden runs 64% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $2,102 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Alhambra commands.

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 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Los Angeles County average of 8.4 closely.

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