Fulton Wells is a 9-tract suburb of Norwalk, CA, population 44,604. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Norwalk baseline of 34.9%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.6 to 8.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Average gross rent runs $2,055, close to the Norwalk average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $97,730. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
