Madison Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Pasadena

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. At $3,064 a month, rents run 35% over what the rest of Pasadena commands.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% 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 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
