Chico Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.

The voucher gap is 23.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,808 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Chico commands. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2014 at 0.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 18% 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 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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