Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Cove

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Orange County average of 7.0.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,740, 12% below the Dana Point average. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, 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.
