Orcutt Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.3 points. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10.

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Santa Barbara County average of 51.2%. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.8 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $2,031, close to the Orcutt average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $113,930.

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.
