Ocean View Plaza spans 8 census tracts of Monterey, CA, population 20,418. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Monterey baseline of 32.7%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.1 to 8.6, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $2,627, 12% above the Monterey average of $2,353.
Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $103,363.
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.
