West Davis is a 5-tract quarter of Davis, CA and houses 21,147 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 47%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Davis baseline of 45.7%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10.
Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 9.3. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running hot is housing-court posture at 9.2/10.
This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,969, 10% below the Davis average of $2,187. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Davis.
For a like-for-like read, East Davis and Central Davis score within a fraction of it.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 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.
