Meadowview takes in 2 census tracts of Sacramento, CA, population 11,515. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.6/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 45%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $2,002 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Sacramento commands. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Sacramento, it ranks #11 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Northgate and Carleton Tract. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
