Olive is a 3-tract suburb of Orange, CA, population 16,230. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Orange baseline of 31.8%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
24% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. At $2,532 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Orange commands.
That places it #4 of 8 neighborhoods in Orange. For a like-for-like read, Cowan Heights and Santiago Creek score within a fraction of it.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $141,113. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
