Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chico

The worst year on record was 2014, when 0.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
