Myricks Corner Eviction Risk: Elevated , Shafter

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 27.4% against 14.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 23.1% against 11.3% nationally. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10.

The voucher gap is 17.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 6.9/10.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters. It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely.

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.
