Riverglen spans 8 census tracts of Santa Ana, CA, population 50,313. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.5/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 31.9% citywide, putting Riverglen 23.3% over its own city.
27% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 7.9 to 9.5. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Ana, it ranks #17 by risk, the lower third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $2,040, close to the Santa Ana average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $88,922.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
