29% 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 dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Set annual rent against average household income of $69,968 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. 21.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At $2,046 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Tustin commands. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
