Chinatown Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. 25% 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. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 7 to 9.3. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 20.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Food insecurity affects 29.0% of adults, 11.2 points above the national rate. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,853, 7% below the Salinas average of $1,991. That places it #3 of 9 neighborhoods in Salinas.

For a like-for-like read, Sunset and Natividad score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $81,988.

65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
