Linwood Ranch Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,013 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Linwood Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Visalia, CA, population 6,013. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Visalia baseline of 30.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,696, 14% above the Visalia average of $1,490.

That places it #14 of 21 neighborhoods in Visalia. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, McAuliff Ranch and Quail Run score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $99,417.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
