Acacia Knolls Eviction Risk: Elevated

9 census tracts · pop 43,745 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 5.4–8.1

Acacia Knolls takes in 9 census tracts of Laguna Hills, CA and houses 43,745 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 34.2% citywide, putting Acacia Knolls 15.6% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 8.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,427, 11% below the Laguna Hills average of $2,728.

At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $117,919.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
