Border Links West is a one-tract neighborhood of Visalia, CA and houses 5,237 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Visalia rate of 30.1%.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,396, 6% below the Visalia average of $1,490. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Visalia, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $77,500. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
