Mar-Les Eviction Risk: High , Santa Ana

Set annual rent against average income of $71,514 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 44% here against 51.8% across Orange County. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

Average gross rent is $2,271, 9% above the Santa Ana average. That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 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 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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