Pacific Park Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 14,085 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.6/10 · range 9.4–9.9

Pacific Park takes in 2 census tracts of Santa Ana, CA, population 14,085. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.6/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 31.9% citywide, putting Pacific Park 26.2% over its own city.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.

27.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The severe-burden share is 21%. 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. At $1,647 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Santa Ana commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. That places it #6 of 18 neighborhoods in Santa Ana.

For a like-for-like read, Saddleback View and Cornerstone Village score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 9.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
