· range 5.1–6.7
Hamer takes in 6 census tracts of Placentia, CA and houses 24,392 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Placentia baseline of 34.2%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 5.1 to 6.7. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. At $2,579 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Placentia commands. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $128,561.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
