Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Acalanes Ridge

The main counterweight 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, 31% above the Walnut Creek average. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Contra Costa County average of 6.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 24% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10.

Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

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.
