· range 6.4–8.4
Del Monte takes in 3 census tracts of Monterey, CA, population 12,199. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Monterey rate of 32.7%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 6.4 to 8.4. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
At $2,534 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Monterey commands. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $106,174.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
