Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Acalanes Ridge

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 8.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Contra Costa County average of 5.7 and below the California statewide average of 6.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
