East Davis Eviction Risk: High

4 census tracts · pop 13,830 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.6/10 · range 6.5–9.3

East Davis takes in 4 census tracts of Davis, CA and houses 13,830 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.6/10, placing it in the High tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 9.3, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Cost burden runs 55% against 45.7% citywide, putting East Davis 9.4% over its own city.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Davis, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are West Davis and Central Davis. Average gross rent runs $2,106, close to the Davis average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $83,842.

61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
