Laguna Niguel Eviction Risk: Elevated

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $2,412, 17% below the Laguna Niguel average.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Orange County average of 51.8%. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.1/10. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
