Brentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $3,501, 27% above the Brentwood average. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.1/10. Against the Contra Costa County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
