Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Side
Cost burden runs 77% here against 51.2% across Santa Barbara County. Annualized rent equals 49% of average household income of $61,193, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. It sits 2.2 points above the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity runs 27.5% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
