Royal Oaks Eviction Risk: Moderate , Prunedale

It sits 2.3 points below the Monterey County average of 7.2. The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.7/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.2/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $123,214.

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.
