Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sierra Madre

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 46% here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. 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 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
