Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westminster

Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 51.8% across Orange County. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $59,336, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Orange County average of 7.0.

75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 25.0% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
