Med Center spans 3 census tracts of Sacramento, CA, population 11,580. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, in the High tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Sacramento rate of 32.8%.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 9.3, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10. That places it #15 of 34 neighborhoods in Sacramento. For a like-for-like read, Colonial Heights and Valley Hi / North Laguna score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,773, close to the Sacramento average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $89,829.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 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.
