In Altadena, the devastation of the Eaton Fire impacted many who weren't wealthy, as neighborhoods filled with affordable small homes and rentals were destroyed.
Post-disaster housing demand typically drives up prices; during the Paradise fire aftermath, nearby towns experienced up to 20% rent increases despite rent caps.
Research indicates that increased intensity and frequency of disasters like hurricanes leads to less affordable rents, especially impacting renters and communities of color.
The rebuilding timeline for homes in fire-affected areas can stretch significantly, with some homeowners taking years to navigate insurance and repairs.
