Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Altadena

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.0 points. Average gross rent is $3,228, 37% above the Altadena average. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10.

The voucher gap is 23.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% 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 4.7/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
