Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Madison Heights

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 53.8% across Los Angeles County. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

It sits 0.9 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,247, close to the Pasadena average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $99,963.

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