Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Orcutt
around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Santa Barbara County average of 51.2%. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $69,734, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.8/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
SNAP participation runs 22.6% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 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. It tracks the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0 closely.
Average gross rent is $2,092, close to the Orcutt average. 31% 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.
