Walnut Country Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,731 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6.7–6.7

Walnut Country is a one-tract neighborhood of Concord, CA and houses 4,731 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $3,220, 42% above the Concord average of $2,274.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 20.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Clayton Valley Highlands and Rose Glen score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $162,917. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
