Mesa Verde Eviction Risk: Elevated , Costa Mesa

75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7/10. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters.

It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely. Average gross rent is $2,476, close to the Costa Mesa average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $108,778.

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.
