Seaside is a 7-tract suburb of Seaside, CA and houses 25,444 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.9/10, in the High tier. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 9.9, a 4.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Cost burden runs 61% against 38.6% citywide, putting Seaside 22.0% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $83,069 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.6/10. Average gross rent is $2,226, 8% below the Seaside average of $2,409. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
