Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 7.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Walnut Country and Rose Glen. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $164,266.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
