Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.

Rent consumes only 2% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler.
