Santa Paula Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Ventura County average of 6.9 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,656, close to the Santa Paula average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $102,875. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
