· range 6.4–8.5
OC Vibe spans 5 census tracts of Orange, CA and houses 28,897 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 31.8% citywide, putting OC Vibe 20.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 70% 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.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.4 to 8.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. That places it #3 of 8 neighborhoods in Orange.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $2,391, close to the Orange average.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $101,992.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 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.
