Salinas Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 59% here against 51.7% across Monterey County.

Against the Monterey County average of 7.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $132,891, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,950, close to the Salinas average.

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.
