Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mar-Les

Food insecurity runs 42.4% against 17.8% nationally. Against Orange County at 51.8%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

82% 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. Set annual rent against average income of $75,759 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.6% against 11.3% nationally. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
