Thornton Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Santa Ana

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $2,548, 22% above the Santa Ana average. Against Orange County at 51.8%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 0.9 points above the Orange County average of 7.0. Housing insecurity runs 22.6% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 26.2% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 90th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $118,886.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
