Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Valley High

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Contra Costa County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.3/10.

Average gross rent is $2,606, 11% above the Martinez average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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 2.1/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
