Average gross rent is $3,501, 39% above the Huntington Beach average. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Cost burden runs 64% here against 51.8% across Orange County.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Orange County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
