Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McFarland
Disability prevalence runs 54.2% against 31.5% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Kern County average of 6.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.
23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $39,464, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10.
Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.2% across Kern County. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
