Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Magalia
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Magalia, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Butte County average of 5.9 and below the California statewide average of 6.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 4.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.9% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 83rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
