Mountain Shadows is a one-tract neighborhood of Redding, CA and houses 4,022 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.9/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Redding baseline of 31.2%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 25.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #1 of 16 neighborhoods in Redding. For a like-for-like read, Kutras Tract and Eastwood score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,335, close to the Redding average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $54,288.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
