French Park Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 7,812 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.9/10 · range 9.9–9.9

French Park maps to a single census tract in Santa Ana, CA and houses 7,812 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.9/10, in the High tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Santa Ana rate of 31.9%.

This is a renter market: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

SNAP participation is 35.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,617, 22% below the Santa Ana average of $2,082. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

15.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Ana, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 9.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
