That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in West Sacramento. The closest comparables inside the same city are Downtown and Upper Land Park.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 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.
