Vandenberg AFB Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. 100% 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. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $83,023 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

At $2,459 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Vandenberg AFB commands. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Santa Barbara County average of 7.0 closely.

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.
