· range 4.6–7.9
Mutual 1 takes in 5 census tracts of Seal Beach, CA, population 16,894. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, Elevated tier. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 4.6 to 7.9. A 3.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 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.
At $1,983 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Seal Beach commands. Against a Seal Beach baseline of 33.2%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.
4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $105,404.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.3 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.
