Figarden is a 5-tract neighborhood of Fresno, CA, population 32,197. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 34.1% citywide, putting Figarden 18.2% over its own city.
25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 7.4, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. At $1,753 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Fresno commands.
The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Fresno, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $77,995. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
