No sidewalk riding district Eviction Risk: High , Chico

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.

90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Butte County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $39,390, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 49.5% across Butte County. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. SNAP participation runs 29.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 28.8% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions over 1 years of observation. At $1,281 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Chico commands.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.5% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
