Housing insecurity runs 24.4% against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 13.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Kern County rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.
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 1.5 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely.
Average gross rent runs $1,567 a month.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
