Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Nipomo
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.5/10. Against the San Luis Obispo County average of 6.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,922, 9% below the Nipomo average.
On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $106,786. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
