Novato Eviction Risk: Elevated

The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 6.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 10% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $162,371, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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.
