Creekside Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 11,913 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6.5–7.7

Creekside is a 3-tract neighborhood of Sacramento, CA, population 11,913. The Eviction Risk Score is 7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Sacramento baseline of 32.8%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $2,214 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Sacramento commands.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 7.7. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Sacramento, it ranks #29 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Alhambra Triangle and Pocket score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $105,293.

56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 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.
