Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

At $1,831 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Novato commands. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 16% 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 1.7/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Marin County average of 7.3 closely.

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