Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lavender Heights

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

Average gross rent is $1,174, 34% below the Sacramento average. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
