Madison Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pasadena

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%. This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.2/10. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 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 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,310, close to the Pasadena average.

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.
