Thornton Park Eviction Risk: High
9 census tracts · pop 48,338 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 7.4–9.1
Thornton Park takes in 9 census tracts of Santa Ana, CA and houses 48,338 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.5/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 31.9% citywide, putting Thornton Park 15.6% over its own city.
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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.4 to 9.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. 19.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Food insecurity affects 26.6% of adults, 8.8 points above the national rate. Among the 18 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Ana, it ranks #17 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Riverglen and North Island.
Average gross rent runs $2,203, close to the Santa Ana average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $104,364.
36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
