Caliente Sands is a 3-tract neighborhood of Cathedral City, CA and houses 10,200 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cathedral City rate of 35.8%.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,260, 21% below the Cathedral City average of $1,601.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.4 to 7.4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $57,489. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
