Bellview Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Merced, CA and houses 4,933 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. roughly one in eight of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well under the Merced rate of 32.7%.
Average gross rent is $2,601, 87% above the Merced average of $1,393. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 72.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.8/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
