Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Boulder Creek
Cost burden runs 60% here against 48.5% across Santa Cruz County. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10.
Against the Santa Cruz County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 22% 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 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $128,085, annual rent is just 17%.
Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
