East Whittier Eviction Risk: Elevated

It sits 2.2 points below the Los Angeles County average of 8.4. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $121,042, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,801, close to the Whittier average.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
