Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fresno

SNAP participation runs 51.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against Fresno County at 49.3%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. Housing insecurity runs 35.8% against 14.2% nationally.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $971, 32% below the Fresno average.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against the Fresno County average of 6.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
