West Anaheim Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,936 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

West Anaheim is a one-tract suburb of Anaheim, CA and houses 4,936 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Anaheim baseline of 35.9%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.

76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

22.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,791 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Anaheim commands. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Anaheim, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Dresden Palms and Little Arabia score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 8.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
