Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Auburn
36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Placer County average of 50.5%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10. Against average income of $129,007, annual rent is just 14%.
Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
