Bakersfield Eviction Risk: Elevated

Food insecurity runs 58.3% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 34.9% against 11.3% nationally.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Cost burden runs 59% here against 49.2% across Kern County. Average gross rent is $1,089, 26% below the Bakersfield average. It sits 1.1 points above the Kern County average of 6.4.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. Nationally it ranks #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $40,985. 56% 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.
