Lompoc Village Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $47,415, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

75% 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. Against the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
