Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harden Ranch
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 51.7% across Monterey County.
Set annual rent against average income of $122,743 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. The voucher gap is 17.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Against the Monterey County average of 7.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
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.
