East La Mirada spans 3 census tracts of La Habra, CA and houses 13,155 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
Cost burden runs 40% against 31.4% citywide, putting East La Mirada 8.8% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 7.2, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
At $2,274 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of La Habra commands. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $114,766.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
