Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wild Horse Ranch
Against Monterey County at 51.7%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $2,114, 31% above the Prunedale average. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.2/10.
That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10.
Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.8 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $112,556.
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.
