Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Fullerton

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $119,932 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters. It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
