Natividad Eviction Risk: High , Salinas

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Against the Monterey County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $65,295, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 51.7% across Monterey County. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

Food insecurity runs 31.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 27.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
