31% 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. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 7.6 to 9.3. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,577 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Sacramento commands.
That places it #8 of 34 neighborhoods in Sacramento. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,409.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
