Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Brea

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. At $1,964 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Fullerton commands.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $176,136, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely.
