Westshore Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,184 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 6.9–6.9

Westshore is a one-tract neighborhood of Thousand Oaks, CA and houses 3,184 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Thousand Oaks rate of 32.9%. Set annual rent against average household income of $106,500 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate. 3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Average gross rent is $2,998, 13% above the Thousand Oaks average of $2,664. That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in Thousand Oaks. The closest comparables inside the same city are San Alicia and Westlake Hills.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
