Young Square maps to a single census tract in Santa Ana, CA and houses 7,245 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.1/10, placing it in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $2,391, 15% above the Santa Ana average of $2,082. That places it #8 of 18 neighborhoods in Santa Ana.
For a like-for-like read, Mar-Les and Madison Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $113,276.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
