· range 5.6–7.5
Country Hills spans 5 census tracts of Brea, CA, population 29,684. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Brea rate of 31.2%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. 20% 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.
The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 7.5, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. For a like-for-like read, Downtown Brea and Olinda score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,482, close to the Brea average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $115,112.
48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 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.
