Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cayucos
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the San Luis Obispo County average of 6.5 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,551, close to the Cayucos average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
