Lavender Heights Eviction Risk: High , Sacramento

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 50.2% across Sacramento County. At $861 a month, rents run 52% under what the rest of Sacramento commands. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.5/10.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Sacramento County average of 7.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 28.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $91,563, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
