Chinatown Eviction Risk: High , Salinas

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

Food insecurity runs 32.5% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Against the Monterey County average of 7.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Housing insecurity runs 26.1% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Monterey County average of 51.7%.

Nationally it ranks #4,888 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
