Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Delano

Food insecurity runs 33.1% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.

SNAP participation runs 27.7% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Kern County average of 6.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,154, close to the Delano average.

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