Brentwood maps to a single census tract in Lemon Hill, CA and houses 3,709 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Lemon Hill rate of 34.8%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10.
19.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,403, close to the Lemon Hill average.
Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $53,313.
One tract means one number: 9.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
