Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sparr Heights

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County.

At $2,616 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Glendale commands. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Los Angeles. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
