HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Alhambra

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

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.
