South Whittier Eviction Risk: Elevated

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 22.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,846, close to the South Whittier average.

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