The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.9 to 8.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
At $1,791 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of La Habra commands. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $101,099. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
