Altadena Eviction Risk: Moderate

32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10.

Against average income of $153,750, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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