West Salinas Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 51.7% across Monterey County. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.7 points below the Monterey County average of 7.2. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 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 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,978, close to the Salinas average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $127,911.

26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
