Fresno Eviction Risk: High

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Housing insecurity runs 36.3% against 14.2% nationally.

This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.7/10.

The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Fresno County average of 49.3%.

Average gross rent is $997, 30% below the Fresno average. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $36,429, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Fresno County average of 6.9. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fresno. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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.
