Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South California

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. The voucher gap is 26.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 51.6% across Humboldt County. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

Against the Humboldt County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $88,684.

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