Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $72,273, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 22%.

This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Orange County average of 51.8%. Against the Orange County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $2,140, 13% below the Costa Mesa average.
