Westlake maps to a single census tract in Sacramento, CA and houses 5,514 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 66% against 32.8% citywide, putting Westlake 33.1% over its own city.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,280, 28% below the Sacramento average of $1,779.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. That places it #33 of 34 neighborhoods in Sacramento.
At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $122,401, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
