The Whittier roof problem, specifically
Houses sit on more land than they would in a city, which usually means more roof area per house than the averages assume. Whittier sits in Los Angeles County with a population of around 85,589.
The failure that leads here is the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Then, less dramatically: the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
None of which is unusual for a roofer who works here every week. It is only unusual to a crew who does not.

Ember and wildfire exposure
Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.
