Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midway City

Annualized rent equals 53% of average household income of $39,696, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Orange County average of 51.8%. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

83% 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. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against the Orange County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 28.5% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,756 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Westminster commands. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 10/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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.
