Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oceano

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,234, 22% below the Oceano average. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the San Luis Obispo County average of 6.5. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $76,147.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
