Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Webb Heights
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Against Orange County at 49.0%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Orange County average of 6.7.
Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 22.8% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Average gross rent is $1,736, close to the Middletown average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $85,000.
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.
