College Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

6 census tracts · pop 26,858 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 5.5–8.4

College Park is a 6-tract neighborhood of Montclair, CA, population 26,858. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Montclair baseline of 36.9%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.5 to 8.4, a 2.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.

Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,955, close to the Montclair average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $83,715.

53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
