West Whittier Eviction Risk: Moderate , West Whittier-Los Nietos

Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 85% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 3.2 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4.

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Average gross rent is $2,199, 15% above the West Whittier-Los Nietos average. 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 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $113,222.

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.
