Bakersfield Eviction Risk: Elevated

SNAP participation runs 27.1% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 24.0% against 14.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Bakersfield eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

52% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,512, close to the Bakersfield average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $67,254.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
