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

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Against Los Angeles County at 53.8%, 46% of renters here are cost-burdened. 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 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,775, close to the Whittier average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $89,432.

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.
