· range 5.1–5.5
Laguna West spans 4 census tracts of Elk Grove, CA and houses 20,706 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Elk Grove rate of 32.0%.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 4 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $2,174, close to the Elk Grove average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $125,555.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
