Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Magalia

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $60,401 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 25 filings here across 1 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,627, 10% above the Magalia average. The worst year on record was 2014, when 4.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

It tracks the Butte County average of 6.6 closely.

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.
