Parkway Eviction Risk: High

7 census tracts · pop 30,922 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.5/10 · range 7.6–9.3

Parkway is a 7-tract suburb of Sacramento, CA and houses 30,922 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, High tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.8% citywide, putting Parkway 18.7% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.

SNAP participation is 32.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.6 to 9.3, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. At $1,449 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Sacramento commands. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

14.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Sacramento, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $57,247.

52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
