Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wasco
Against Kern County at 49.2%, 100% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Against the Kern County average of 6.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.
On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
