The Westerlies is a 8-tract neighborhood of Oxnard, CA, population 31,576. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 34.0% citywide, putting The Westerlies 26.3% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.8 to 8.9, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. At $2,361 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Oxnard commands. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $95,952. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
