Novato Eviction Risk: High

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.3/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.1 points above the Marin County average of 7.3. Average gross rent is $2,250, 10% below the Novato average.

On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 53% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $93,828. 46% 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.
