Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Graton

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $95,347, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.8/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Sonoma County average of 49.9%.

Nationally it ranks #12,481 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Sonoma County average of 6.9 closely. Average gross rent is $2,701, close to the Graton average.
