CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $3,500, close to the Malibu average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $179,901.
With little internal variation, 6.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
