Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bakersfield

Average gross rent is $972, 34% below the Bakersfield average. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

Against the Kern County average of 6.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Against average income of $77,692, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
