Ben Ali spans 4 census tracts of Sacramento, CA, population 22,174. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.3/10, in the High tier. Against a Sacramento baseline of 32.8%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
35% 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. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
SNAP participation is 34.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
At $1,331 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Sacramento commands. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
14.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Sacramento, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, College Town and Gardenland score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $53,156.
With little internal variation, 9.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
