Mar-Les Eviction Risk: High

Scores across the 14 constituent tracts range from 6.7 to 9.9. A 3.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 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. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. 21.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Ana, it ranks #10 by risk, the middle third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Madison Park and Santa Ana Triangle. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $2,044, close to the Santa Ana average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $87,873. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
