What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10.

Cost burden runs 45% here against 51.8% across Orange County. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 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 hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $107,563.

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.
