Santa Maria Eviction Risk: High

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.5% against 11.3% nationally.

This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 1.7 points above the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0. SNAP participation runs 30.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,686, 12% below the Santa Maria average. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
