Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 24% against 32.8% citywide, putting Pocket 8.7% under its own city.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate.
At $1,970 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Sacramento commands. That places it #30 of 34 neighborhoods in Sacramento.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hollywood Park and Natomas Creek. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $104,797.
One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
