Chico Eviction Risk: High

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Against Butte County at 49.5%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Butte County average of 6.6. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 31 evictions over 1 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.9% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
