Monterey Eviction Risk: Elevated

40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Monterey County average of 51.7%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. At $2,897 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Monterey commands. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 5.1% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the Monterey County average of 7.2.

Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% 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 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
