California City Eviction Risk: Elevated

Against Kern County at 49.2%, 73% of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 39.0% against 15.2% nationally.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.

At $998 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of California City commands. Against the Kern County average of 6.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $47,756.

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