Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Felton
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.3 points below the Santa Cruz County average of 6.8. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,871 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Felton commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Nationally it ranks #41,206 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Against average income of $125,469, annual rent is just 18%.
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.
