Prairie Oaks spans 2 census tracts of Folsom, CA, population 7,625. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 28.6% citywide, putting Prairie Oaks 14.8% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.
4.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in Folsom. For a like-for-like read, The Parkway and Empire Ranch score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $2,340, close to the Folsom average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $119,124. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
