Bakersfield Eviction Risk: Elevated

Food insecurity runs 40.4% against 17.8% nationally. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.7% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Bakersfield eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,398, close to the Bakersfield average.

Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $52,483. 43% 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.
