Mesa Verde Eviction Risk: Elevated , Costa Mesa

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $127,336 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 45% here against 51.8% across Orange County. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.4/10.

The voucher gap is 19.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, supply constraint reads 6.9/10. Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
