Mallorca Eviction Risk: Moderate , Mission Viejo

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Orange County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Against Orange County at 51.8%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $3,299, 16% above the Mission Viejo average.

SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
