Wasco Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.4% against 11.3% nationally.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8/10. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $963 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Wasco commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $56,290. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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