Talega Eviction Risk: Moderate , San Clemente

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.7 points below the Orange County average of 7.0. Cost burden runs 42% here against 51.8% across Orange County.

Average gross rent is $3,032, 23% above the San Clemente average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
