Sterling Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Visalia, CA and houses 10,105 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
21% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Visalia rate of 30.1%. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
That places it #14 of 21 neighborhoods in Visalia. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,452, close to the Visalia average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
