Thousand Oaks is a 3-tract neighborhood of Kensington, CA and houses 6,976 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 22.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 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.
Against a Kensington baseline of 30.7%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.3/10.
2.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $3,293, close to the Kensington average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $196,599.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
