Bakersfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 2.3/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Kern County average of 6.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,579, close to the Bakersfield average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $73,517.

61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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