Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whittier Narrows

Against the Los Angeles County average of 8.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $1,434 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Rosemead commands. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10.

Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $172,829, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
