Vista Heights maps to a single census tract in Concord, CA and houses 8,109 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Concord rate of 36.2%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. That places it #13 of 13 neighborhoods in Concord.
Only 21% 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 Clayton Valley Highlands.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,252, close to the Concord average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $134,439.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
