Mallorca Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 8,651 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.2–5.5

Mallorca takes in 3 census tracts of Mission Viejo, CA and houses 8,651 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Mission Viejo rate of 34.2%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.

Average gross rent is $3,396, 20% above the Mission Viejo average of $2,839. The voucher gap is 17.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #6 of 5 neighborhoods in Mission Viejo. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
