HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Alhambra

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Los Angeles County average of 53.8%.

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 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,808, close to the Alhambra average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $102,619. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
